Not long ago, losing a tooth left limited options for replacement. While permanent teeth ideally last a lifetime, various factors such as accidents, decay, or gum disease may lead to their loss. Even the absence of a single tooth can disrupt the delicate balance of your mouth's structure, causing neighboring teeth to shift and creating further issues like wear and cracking due to uneven forces.

When faced with the need to replace missing teeth, whether it's one or an entire set, there are several options to consider. Dental implants often emerge as the preferred choice, offering the opportunity for normal chewing function and a complete smile. However, alternative options also warrant exploration.
