In this example, implants are used to replace two lower back teeth. Traditional methods would normally involve a bridge or a partial denture. Each implant is then positioned below the gum and allowed to heal. After a few months, when the mouth has fully healed, the implants are uncovered and posts are attached. These will be used to support the replacement bridge. The bridge is then cemented onto the posts. You will now be able to chew better and have a nicer smile.
