Can I replace my eroded teeth with dental implants without pulling my old ones out

Q. I have very badly eroded front teeth could i get implants to replace these without having to pull out my old teeth?

A. Implants are titanium roots placed into bone that actually become fixed to that bone. Unfortunately you would have to have your teeth removed in the areas where you needed implants. However it may well be the situations that you need comprehensive crown and bridge work on your existing teeth rather than implants. Certainly if you have good bone support around your teeth and no decay on the roots of your teeth this is likely to be the best option for you.

Hope this helps.
