What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering a permanent solution that replicates the look, feel, and function of natural teeth. These titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over time, providing a stable base for artificial teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
The Benefits of Dental Implants Include:
- Natural Appearance: Implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
- Enhanced Oral Health: They help preserve the jawbone and prevent bone loss.
- Improved Functionality: Implants allow for better chewing and speech compared to other tooth replacement options.
- Longevity: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
