Advantages of Dental implants
The most 'tooth-like' replacement available
The dental implant emerges from the gum, just like a real tooth. (It doesn't sit on top of the gum.) An 'implant-retained crown' has a far superior appearance, compared to a dental bridge.Dental implants are the most 'tooth-like' replacement available.
Placing a dental implant doesn't damage the surrounding teeth
Implants can be placed so that they function totally independent of the remaining teeth.People will often lose a tooth due to a traumatic incident. If the dentist were to use conventional bridgework to replace a missing tooth, the surrounding sound teeth would need to be prepared and shaped. This shaping process can expose these surrounding teeth to nerve damage.
The beauty of the dental implant is that it can be placed without involving (much less damaging), the surrounding sound teeth.
Dental implants avoid bone loss that causes jaw shrinkage
Dental implants also stop the loss of bone from your jaw following extraction of teeth. When you have teeth extracted, bone is lost and shrinkage of the jaw bone occurs. This makes you appear older.A dental implant acts just like a real tooth
Dental implants act and feel like your own teeth.Dental implants are fixed within your jaw bone and are not removable like a denture.
