A more advanced alternative to dentures or crowns is dental implants.

Dental implants have become a more advanced alternative to having dentures or crowns work. Whereas crowns, partials, and dentures will last a few years, after which you have to replace or repair them, dental implants are meant to last a lifetime. Dental implants may cost more than crowns, partials, and dentures because they look, feel, and function like a natural set of teeth. Nobody can tell the difference whether you have dental implants or a natural set of teeth. Not everyone can have dental implants, so discuss your dental care options with your dentist. Also, dental implants are not usually covered by dental insurance, so you want to budget for them.
