Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are used to support a crown, bridge, or denture. They are typically made of titanium, which is a biocompatible material that is well-tolerated by the body. Dental implants are placed in the jawbone, where they fuse to the bone over a period of several months. Once the implants are securely in place, they can be used to support a replacement tooth or teeth. Dental implants are a popular treatment option because they are strong, stable, and can last for many years with proper care. They can also help to preserve the integrity of the jawbone, which can begin to resorb (shrink) after tooth loss.

There are several reasons why someone might choose dental implants to replace missing teeth:
Why should you choose dental implants?
Improved function: Dental implants can help to restore the natural function of the teeth, allowing you to speak, chew, and bite normally again.
Enhanced aesthetics: Dental implants can be used to support replacement teeth that look and feel just like natural teeth. This can help to improve your appearance and boost your self-confidence.
Improved oral health: Unlike traditional bridges, which rely on the adjacent teeth for support, dental implants are self-supporting. This means that they do not place any extra burden on the surrounding teeth, which can help to preserve their health.
Long-term solution: With proper care, dental implants can last for many years, making them a good long-term investment in your oral health.
Increased comfort: Because dental implants are securely anchored in the jawbone, they can provide a level of comfort and stability that is not possible with other types of tooth replacement options.
