Dental Implants
A dental implant is a surgical fixture that is placed in the jawbone and allowed to fuse with the bone over the span of a few months. A dental implant acts as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth and ultimately, this artificial tooth root serves to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
Are dental implants advantageous? Yes!
- 1. Dental implants are permanent fixtures, so they look and feel like your own teeth.
- 2. Dental implants allow you to speak and eat like your natural teeth does.
- 3. Dental implants do not require reducing other teeth as a tooth-supported bridge does. So more of your healthy teeth are left intact improving your long-term oral health.
- 4. Dental implants are simply more convenient compared to dentures. They eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures.
- 5. Dental implants could last you a life-time with good oral care.
