Dental Implant or Braces to Replace a Missing Molar?

January 16, 2010
Asked By:gonza in California

I was giving 2 options by the dentist to replace an upper missing molar. One choice was an implant and the other choice was braces to close the space from the missing molar and will help an overbite I have. I don't know which way to go.
