A beautiful smile can take you a long way, and that’s why it should last a lifetime. However, healthy, are the only key to a lasting smile, which sadly a lot of people lack these days. Despite the advancing dental care, a number of people suffer tooth loss, owing to injuries, periodontal diseases and dental caries.
