Those looking for more permanent solution to missing teeth may want to look toward receiving implants. Implants consist of embedding titanium instrument into your jawbone, eventually allowing the bone to fuse seamlessly over time. If just a couple of teeth are missing, the implant can be used to restore teeth with a crown, which looks and functions like a real tooth. This can help prevent unattractive gaps in your smile where the empty gaps leave a sunken look in your mouth and stop bone loss.
