Tooth Implants
Previously, dentures were the solution to address several lost teeth; however modern technology and dental advancements offer the option of a full mouth rehabilitation using dental implants. Implants offer many advantages over dentures. When a patient has limited funds and cannot afford ideal restoration, complete dentures can restore a smile and good looks. Even with unlimited funds, the remaining teeth may not be restorable and must be removed.
