Missing a tooth? In the past, a bridge was often the option of choice. This is no longer the case. Implants have been in use for many years. With each year, the possibilities are improving and expanding. Implants are now the first choice when replacing a missing tooth. Implants are strong, stable, and most importantly they maintain the ridge of bone surrounding the implant and your natural teeth. Maintaining the bone is not only better esthetically, it is also better for the health of your teeth. Implants arent always an option, but many times they are. In our experience, patients like their bridges, and love their dental implants.
