Dental Implants and Why You May Prefer Them to Dentures

Dental implants replace missing teeth and have a number of advantages over dentures. Looking and feeling like natural teeth, your dentist can advise whether you could be a candidate for dental implants.

Key takeaways:

–  Dental implants are made of titanium and are screwed in to the jaw, with a crown fitted above as the artificial tooth.

–  Dental implants are permanent and help prevent further bone loss and sagging cheeks where teeth have been lost.

–  They are easier to eat with as they do not slip like dentures or get food trapped between them.

“Dental implants are a permanent solution to missing teeth; in fact, they are so close to having your real teeth that the only real difference is the material they are made of.”
