Choosing to replace a missing tooth with a dental implant has several benefits, such as: •Improved appearance • Better comfort • Improved oral health, as implants do not affect surrounding teeth like a dental bridge does • Durability, with the potential to last for many years • The convenience of being a fixed, permanent part of your mouth rather than a prosthetic that needs to be removed • For patients who have loose - fitting dentures, dental implants can help secure and anchor dentures to ensure more comfort and reduce the risk of slurred speech or difficulty eating.
