Do you take Medicaid?

What is the difference between implants, bridges, and implant-supported dentures?
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth with a stable, natural-looking restoration. A bridge closes a gap by anchoring a replacement tooth to neighboring teeth or implants. An implant-supported denture clips or fixes to implants so it stays more secure than a denture that rests on the gums alone. Which path fits is decided after an examination.
Do I need an examination first?
Yes. Treatment is recommended only after an examination. A plan is not chosen from a website form.
