Implants can be used in a variety of circumstances ranging from a removable denture to fixed crowns, bridges and orthodontic appliances. In the majority of situations, only one or two implants are required. Apart from being able to smile, eat, sing and speak better, implants prevent the onset of poor facial profile due to loss of bone mass in your jawbone when one or more teeth are missing. Implants prevent bone loss by transmitting load forces during the chewing process down into the jawbone. The jawbone reacts to this loading by increasing the bone density.
Implants are well known in their ability to stop bone loss and restore facial skeletal structure.
Implants will allow you to enjoy foods like corn and apples that you may have avoided for years. Implant supported dentures and bridges can triple your biting force, allowing you to eat any hard food that your original teeth were once able to do. Dental implants provide an improvement in the quality of life that dentures can't provide. A survey was conducted of patients who had their teeth extracted and fitted with dentures, then eventually had their dentures replaced with implants. While they rated their natural teeth highest at 10, dentures rated lowest at 2 and implants were rated 9.
