What Falls Under Tooth Replacement Care

Tooth replacement is a wide-ranging field that encompasses many restorative procedures.

The best method varies based on how many teeth are missing, the health of your jawbone, your lifestyle preferences, and your investment goals.

Some patients are ideal candidates for dental implants, which replace the entire tooth from root to crown. Others benefit more from implant-supported bridges or partial and full dentures. More and more often, blended treatment plans — like implant-retained overdentures — offer people the security of a fixed restoration together with the scope of a complete arch solution.
