Though implants are the superior tooth replacement option, an implant dentist understands that many people do not make great candidates for this procedure, whether due to cost, health, or other factors. For those patients, a less invasive method may be ideal. Four additional options include fixed bridges, which use a few implants and a bridge of faux teeth; a resin-retained bridge, which affixes to neighboring teeth; removable partial dentures; and full dentures.
