Dental implants provide a lasting and minimally invasive solution for missing teeth. A metal post is surgically placed to replace the tooth root, and once it heals, a crown is attached to complete the restoration.
Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering healthy neighboring teeth, making them a more conservative choice. Additionally, implants offer greater comfort compared to dentures, as they are securely fixed in place.
- Aesthetics: Implants integrate into the gumline, mimicking the natural emergence of a tooth.
- Prevents Bone Loss: When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone can deteriorate. Implants help preserve the bone structure in these areas.
- Comfort: Implants are securely anchored in the bone, offering a stable solution without the discomfort or movement often associated with dentures.
- Tooth Conservation: Unlike bridges, implants do not require altering nearby healthy teeth.
