Implant dentistry is a very hot topic in dentistry right now. Patients come in and ask me if it would be better to have all of their teeth taken out and have all implanted teeth. ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! My first motto in dentistry is " Always try and use the parts God gave you". Sounds a little simple minded, but our bodies are put together the way they are for a reason.
Some people do have enough issues with their teeth that replacing them is the only option. Dentistry gives use at least two if not three choices for patients to think about. Although price of the restoration is always a factor, longevity of the appliance, appointment times,recovery and appearance need to be considered.
If implants are the way you choose to go and you have multiple teeth to replace, see if an implant supported bridge might work in the space. It saves several implant placements and may look more natural. If you need an entire mouth redone, implants can snap in a full denture. This looks very nice and is very stable.
If you have any questions on implants, just ask!
