Worth The Read: Although partial dentures are the most popular treatment for replacing several missing teeth, because of their structural components, they are not actually ranked as the top treatment anymore! They cause damage on existing teeth which serve as anchors to support the bridge.

Dental implants are a vital aspect in the prevention of bone loss and preservation of the facial structure. When it comes to replacing multiple teeth, your dentist will consider placing an implant at the site of each lost tooth.
