What Is Implant-Retained Tooth Replacement?
Teeth can be lost for a number of reasons, including cavities, periodontal disease or trauma. Did you know that by age 50, most Americans will have lost an average of 12 teeth? Additionally, the percentage of U.S. citizens aged 65 and older missing all of their natural teeth ranges from 13.9 to 47.9 percent, depending on the state in which they live.¹
If you are missing your natural teeth, your dentist may recommend dental implants to replace the roots of some of the missing teeth. An implant-retained restoration will be created and placed on the dental implants to rebuild your teeth in a beautiful and natural looking manner. You can remove your teeth for brushing; but, otherwise, these will be secured in place by tiny anchors that only you and your dentist will know are there.
