A dental implant not only replaces the lost tooth but also helps to maintain the health of your jaw bone. The implant’s integration with the surrounding bone and the restored pressure on the jaw both encourage new tissue growth.
A dental implant has several advantages over other tooth replacement alternatives. The implant functions exactly like a real tooth and when fitted, will not cause damage to the surrounding teeth like a Bridge sometimes can.
A single-tooth implant is also easier to clean than a Bridge, and the greatest advantage is that it looks and feels natural in your mouth. No one will ever be able to tell you have lost a tooth.
