While the cost of dental implants is initially higher than other tooth replacement options, such as dental bridges and dentures, dental implants become the more cost efficient option over time. Unlike the other options, dental implants solve the root of the problem that comes with missing teeth, mainly bone loss. Dental implants are able to keep the shape of your mouth intact, preventing other teeth from failing and reducing the number of restoration replacements or declining oral health due to a shifting jaw line.
