Implants the best alternative

Implants are our future to replacing missing or broken down teeth. You know you go to your dentist and your tooth is broken.

The choices are fix the tooth which usually means a root canal, post build up and a crown, or extract the tooth and get a three tooth bridge which means cutting down two healthy teeth, or extract the tooth and replace it with an implant and a crown. All the choices are good but today the best choice for long term is to place the implant and the crown.

The implant will last a lifetime once it becomes part of the bone and it is the only treatment that will stop the loss of bone.

Repairing the tooth is also a good choice but will eventually have to be replaced.
