Your Results

If You Answered…

Mostly A’s

You’re probably missing just one tooth. While this may seem like a minimal issue, even one lost tooth can lead to jawbone deterioration, which may eventually cause additional tooth loss. However, your dentist can use an implant-retained crown to seamlessly complete your smile. The best part is that it will look, feel, and function like a natural tooth.

Mostly B’s

You may be missing multiple teeth consecutively or throughout your mouth. Your dentist can use an implant-retained dental bridge to literally bridge the gap in your smile. Plus, your natural teeth won’t need to be altered. If your pattern of tooth loss is more random, then multiple implant-retained crowns may be recommended to achieve a complete smile.

Mostly C’s

There’s a good chance you’re missing all or most of your teeth. In this case, your dentist will recommend an implant-retained denture. This option allows you to restore your entire smile with the stability and health benefits of dental implants—no more slipping and sliding dentures! You can eat all your favorite foods with an implant-retained denture.
