Surgical and Restorative Procedures

Only a dental implant can replace the root of a missing tooth. If a root is not replaced, bone loss can occur resulting in undesirable consequences. Unlike traditional bridge restoration techniques, Bicon dental implants can eliminate the need for cutting down two healthy natural teeth to replace one missing tooth.
