Implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants provide a permanent and stable solution for missing teeth, restoring function, aesthetics, and oral health.
To help you make an educated decision, here are some of the pros and cons of this procedure:
Advantages
- Provides a permanent and durable solution for missing teeth.
- Restores function, aesthetics, and confidence in the smile.
- Preserves bone health and prevents jawbone loss.
Limitations
- Requires surgery and a healing period before final restoration.
- Can be costly compared to other tooth replacement options.
- Not suitable for all patients (e.g., insufficient bone density, certain medical conditions).
