Are Implants Really Better?Traditional Tooth ReplacementIt used to be when you lost your teeth you had a few options. If you were only missing a couple of teeth, you could get a bridge, which is a ceramic restoration that relies on two crowns anchoring on adjacent healthy teeth, with the false teeth in between. If you were only missing a few teeth in the same area of your mouth, you could get a partial denture, or a prosthetic device that rests directly on your gums, and has the additional security of metal clasps on adjacent teeth.
