Along with increasing confidence, appearance, and comfort, dental implants have the added advantage of functioning just like your natural teeth. With their strength, durability, and endurance, patients with dental implants are not limited to certain foods and activities. Though dentures can help individuals smile confidently, they can also irritate and cause further damage to the jawbone. Furthermore, because dentures are not attached to the bone like dental implants, slipping when eating and talking is possible.
