Answer
Rating: +0

Usually tightening helps, only if the adjacent teeth are fine and not damaged, but if they are decayed or fractured, then the support from them lessens, and you have to opt for a new prosthesis.

The Truth about Dental Implants
In the past, dentists would try to keep or replace teeth with treatments such as root canals, bridges, and fixed or removable dentures. Unfortunately, a significant number of root canal treated teeth fail, bridges require that healthy adjacent teeth be cut down and removable dentures can often be unstable and require the use of sticky adhesives. Dental implants are a solution to these problems, and many of the concerns associated with natural teeth are eliminated, including dental decay.
