Teeth can be lost for a number of reasons, including cavities, periodontal disease or trauma. Did you know that by age 17, more than 7.3 percent of U.S. children have lost one permanent tooth; and by age 50, Americans have lost an average of 12 teeth?¹
If you are missing some of your natural teeth, your dentist may recommend dental implants to replace the roots of the missing teeth and implant crowns to rebuild your teeth in a beautiful and natural looking manner. Compared to other treatment options to replace missing teeth, such as bridges and removable partials, implants with implant crowns offer a long-lasting solution for missing teeth and require fewer follow-up office visits.
