Rehabilitation can preserve teeth
If natural teeth are suitable to retain, the plan may use restorations, gum treatment, bite correction or selected implants rather than removing everything.
Implant replacement has specific indications
When teeth cannot be retained, implants may support a fixed or removable replacement. Bone, gums, health, bite, expectations and maintenance all influence planning.
Ask for a tooth-by-tooth explanation
Before irreversible treatment, ask which teeth can be retained, why others cannot, what alternatives exist and how the result will be maintained.

Bring a short list of your concerns, relevant medicines, previous dental care and the questions you want answered.
