Can I get my lost teeth back by cosmetic surgery?
Question
I am a 30 years old man suffering from dental problems. Actually, I have lost many teeth due to cavities and other dental problems. Due to this, I cannot chew and eat properly. I desperately want some new teeth in place of my old ones. I have heard about dental cosmetic surgery, which can provide help. I want to know what actually this is? Can I get back my teeth again if I go for the cosmetic surgery? Will these be as good as the real ones? Further, is there any other technique besides surgery? I desperately want my teeth back.

You have probably underwent extractions where your teeth could have been saved by a Root Canal Treatment. Anyway, now you have two options: 1) Fixed bridges to fill the gap and to give you an aesthetic smile. 2) Dental implants. Meet a good dental surgeon who would assess your case and tell you the merits and demerits of each procedure so that you are able to select the best option for yourself.
