The problem of missing teeth has traditionally been addressed using crowns, bridges and dentures. Recent technology improvements have introduced another option - dental implants. If you don't have too much bone loss, and if your gums are healthy, then you may be able to avail this option. In this surgical process the implant is fused to the jawbone. The implant then serves as a base to which the false teeth (or even bridges) can be attached. Since the implant is fused to the bone, the new teeth are very stable. Dr. Sharma will do a thorough evaluation to determine if you can leverage this option. As part of treatment planning she will also discuss other options available to you so you can decide what works best for your time and budget.
