Implant Dentistry

Implants are a great alternative to conventional bridges and partial dentures. If you find that your full dentures move around a lot, implants will help to anchor the denture in place. When teeth are lost, the jawbone may start to shrink. Implants can help to slow this process down.

Your dentist may recommend using implants to replace missing teeth instead of a bridge.  This would allow the healthy teeth on either side of the space to remain untouched. BUT, while increasingly popular, implants are not appropriate for everyone. You need to be medically fit and have healthy gums and a sufficient thickness of jawbone.
