Making the Decision
Your Natural Teeth
Your own natural teeth in a healthy, well maintained condition are the best
teeth you can possibly have, nothing compares to them. With good self care and
frequent dental checkups you can keep your teeth in the best condition for as
long as possible. But when a tooth is lost, it's best to replace it with a
non-removable replacement as promptly as possible. With the replacement of a
single tooth, a non-removable bridge is often quite satisfactory. However, when
two or three teeth in a row are lost, or several teeth spread out
intermittently through the entire jaw, a considerable amount of root support
has been lost.
The loss can be compared to losing fence posts in a long fence. The fence is
not shorter, but fewer posts comprise it. The fence is not as before. More
fence posts must be added to increase overall strength. Similarly, weakened
areas in the mouth require the aid of implants to replace missing root
structures.
