What should I do if all my back teeth are missing? How can I get them replaced?

A comprehensive oral examination is required to determine whether the patient is a suitable candidate for dental restoration. Based on the condition of the patient's gums and teeth, an appropriate restorative material is selected. Next, tooth preparation (tooth reduction) is performed to ready the teeth for restoration. Then, crowns or bridges are fabricated and securely attached to the prepared teeth. If the patient lacks healthy teeth to serve as support, dental implants may be chosen as an alternative for dental restoration.
