The Advantages of Dental Implants
If you have one or several missing teeth, dental implants may be the best option for you. Unlike a dental bridge, an implant is rooted into the bone structure below the gums. In other words, dental implants are the next best thing to healthy, natural teeth. Implants are also undetectable to the human eye, allowing you to be confident in your beautiful new smile and taste and enjoy foods you love without hesitation.

Dental implants also protect healthy bone. When it is not being used to support a natural tooth, the jawbone deteriorates over time. Dental implants preserve healthy bone and significantly reduce resorption and deterioration that results in loss of jawbone height, which can affect how you speak, talk, and smile. In fact, dental implants are the only dental restoration option that preserves natural bone. Implants can also preserve natural tooth tissue by avoiding the need to cut down adjacent teeth for conventional dental bridgework.
