People lose teeth for many reasons. Two of the most common causes of tooth loss is due to severe gum disease or a dental decay (cavities). If you are missing multiple teeth, or think you may need to have several removed, you’re probably wondering what your options are for replacing your missing teeth.

If you’ve been told that you need a tooth, or multiple teeth, extracted, you have probably also asked yourself how they will be replaced.  The need to replace a missing tooth in the front is critical in maintaining a socially-acceptable smile, however some people wonder why they might need to replace a missing tooth in the back, where nobody can see it.
