The American College of Prosthodontists, experts in tooth replacement options, states that approximately 178 million people in the United States are missing at least one permanent tooth. That’s a lot of teeth and a lot of impact on smile aesthetics and oral function. To help reduce that startling statistic, the dentists at Brooks Dental in Boston offer modern dental implants, bridgework and dentures to help people have fully functional, attractive smiles they can be proud of.
