Was wondering if i need teeth removed, can i just get implants to replace?

Most likely: But to place dental implants, you need adequate bone support. If the teeth are lost due to periodontitis, the bone volume may not be adequate.. Each mouth is different. Add in bone grafting with the implants plus the fixed prosthesis and the costs rise significantly. Always cheaper to keep your own teeth healthy..
