Losing teeth affects more than just the way you look. It can greatly affect your self-confidence, overall dental health and can keep you away from eating your favorite foods as well. While dentures and removable bridges may replace a missing tooth, they have their share of disadvantages. For people who are looking for a more stable, durable, and natural-looking way to replace missing teeth, dental implants are the answer. Implants have become much popular nowadays as they provide a secure, strong anchor for artificial replacement teeth. They have transformed millions of smiles by offering patients a non-removable prosthesis that functions as their own teeth, similar to their natural teeth. This takes patients out of dentures, decreases the amount of bridgework needed, and improves the overall oral functionality and aesthetics of the patient beyond measure.
Dental implants are small titanium screws, which are placed in the jawbone where teeth are missing. Through a process called osseointegration, the bone bonds with the titanium post, thus creating a strong foundation for the teeth. The metal anchors act as a substitute for tooth roots and provide secure anchors for placing artificial teeth or prosthetics.
The success of dental implants is ultimately determined by the amount of bone that remains following extractions or teeth loss. Therefore, consultation with an expert dentist is an important first step in the implant process.

Above everything, with dental implants, there's no need to sacrifice adjacent teeth' health to provide support for bridgework.
