A member asked:
What are those teeth called that have pegs where you can screw the teeth into them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Teeth: The pegs are dental implants placed in the bone which act as roots. On these we can build a single tooth (crown) a number of teeth supported by 2 or more implants (fixed bridge) or an entire arch (12 -14 ) of teeth. They are the most excellent method of replacing missing teeth from all aspects. Can be a costly investment, but more than worth in over the ensuing decades. Good Luck.
