I want you to know that an implant is the best thing you could ever do! <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Implant Versus A Fixed Bridge:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> The average life span of a Fixed Bridge is 10 years. Causes of failure include caries and tooth fracture. Whereas the 10 year survival rate of Implants is about 95% and <strong>implants can\u2019t decay<\/strong> and fracture is not an issue.  After teeth are removed,\u00a0there is a 25% loss of bone in the first year and over a 60% loss by 3 years post tooth removal. Implants halt bone deterioration in the jaw.  <strong>We place implants and restore them<\/strong>.
