Implants
Implants are the best way to replace teeth. The reason is that to place a bridge, two adjacent teeth will need to be used to support the bridge adding extra stress on those teeth, and grinding them down to fit a crown over them. With an implant, both teeth are left alone and only the missing tooth is involved in the treatment.
Implants cannot be bridged to teeth. An implant is a static object meaning it has no mobility in the bone. Teeth have ligaments that support the tooth so they can move ever so slightly. This movement can cause an implant to fail if it is bridged to a natural tooth.

Panoramic X-Ray This is needed to see where the implant will be placed. the doctor will see where and the quality of the bone and obstetrical that he might need to avoid in the process of implantation.
A visual exam is needed. The x-ray gives the implantologist a 2 denominational view only. With the visual exam, he is able to determine the width of the bone where the implant will be placed.
