How dental implants works here
The treatment works the same way whether one tooth is missing or several. The dentist sets a screw-shaped post where the root used to be, a temporary tooth goes on, and after about two to four months, once the bone has fused to the post, the permanent crown is placed. When most teeth are gone, posts like these can anchor a denture instead of individual crowns.
