Dental implants are the only permanent way to restore function and aesthetics when you are missing some or all of your teeth. They provide several advantages you do not find with removable dentures, bridges, or temporary solutions:
You do not have to worry about dental implants slipping, shifting, or falling out
They look natural and perform like your own teeth
An individual implant does not damage any other teeth
Implants preserve the health and strength of your jawbone
Implants help maintain the natural contours of your face
Implants last a lifetime, with most restorations (the visible portion) last decades
You do not have to limit what you eat
No one will know you have implants
Upper jaw implants do not cover the roof of the mouth like traditional dentures
