Implants are used to fill gaps and are probably the longest lasting option. They do not need any other teeth around them for support and look and feel just like natural teeth. They involve placing a titanium “tooth” into the gum with a crown placed on top. Implants can also be used to make dentures firm and stable so they don’t move around.
