A dental implant is an ideal tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth for reasons like injury or periodontal disease. After surgical grade titanium is placed, the restoration is completed with a replacement crown.
While implants are typically more expensive than other methods of tooth replacement, they provide superior benefits. Implants can be as strong as natural teeth and may last a lifetime. They are also a more favorable approach than bridgework because they do not depend on neighboring teeth for support.
Implants require healthy gums and adequate bone. A patient must also be committed to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, as these are critical to the long-term success of dental implants.
