Types of Implant Teeth:
There are two types of replacement teeth that use implants:
- Permanent Teeth
- Removable Teeth
If you are losing your teeth, you need to make an important decision:
- Do you want permanent teeth.....or removable teeth?
- To make this decision, you need to understand how these two types of teeth are different

Permanent Teeth: - professional term: Implant Bridge
- permanently connected to the implants
- do not move in your mouth when you eat and speak
- clean them just like natural teeth
- can only be removed by a dentist.....if the bridge
needs to be cleaned or repaired
