The practice has been part of Saugus since 1979, and replacing a tooth here means implants, bridges and dentures discussed side by side by dentists known for honest assessments.

How overdentures works here
Because the implants sit in the bone, they also do something a denture alone cannot. The practice's implants page explains that missing teeth lead to bone loss in the jaw, and that implants address it in a way dentures cannot. Each implant goes in the way the practice describes for any implant: a post where a root used to be, then about two to four months for the bone to fuse with it.
