Choosing the right tooth replacement option will depend on several factors such as your budget, preferences, oral health needs, and lifestyle habits. Your dentist can help you decide which option is best for you after evaluating your individual situation. Generally speaking, dental implants provide a more permanent solution compared to alternatives such as traditional bridges or partial dentures that can be removed for cleaning and maintenance. However, some people may have difficulty making them work due to existing bone loss in areas where implants need to be inserted or other medical conditions that make surgery more risky than usual. In these cases, your dentist might recommend alternate solutions like partial or full dentures instead of implants.
