Advantages of dental implants compared to other tooth replacement options include a natural look and feel, improved speech, comfort, better oral health, and a longer lifespan. Dental implants are designed to function just like your natural teeth, and they are made of biocompatible materials that are accepted by your body. They also help to preserve your jawbone, which helps to maintain the natural shape of your face and prevent the sunken-in look that can occur with tooth loss.
