1. Dental implants replace missing teeth with new and permanent teeth that function, look, and feel like normal teeth.
2. Because implants are anchored to the jawbone just like normal teeth, you will never have to worry about your dentures falling out.
3. Your implanted teeth will be stronger and more permanent than dentures or dental bridges.
4. Our bones can safely and readily accept titanium implants, subsequently fusing around them to create a permanent bond.
5. Implant procedures can be performed quickly, and have a historical success rate of approximately 95%.
Are there drawbacks for dental implants?
In most cases, anyone can receive a dental implant without complications; however there are some cases in which implants are not appropriate. For example, some patients may be taking bone-fortifying medications, which can cause problems with the way the jawbone receives the implant. Furthermore, the jawbone must have a sufficient level of density in order to successfully accept the implants, which are made of titanium. Although your implant dentist can sometimes solve this problem through a special kind of bone grafting procedure, the complexity of this kind of procedure might discourage patients from going through with it.
