Advantages of Dental Implants Over Dentures or a Bridge:-

Esthetic : Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth.

Tooth saving : Dental implants don't sacrifice the quality of adjacent teeth.

Confidence : Dental implants will allow to once again speak and eat with comfort and confidence!

Reliable : The success rate of dental implants is highly predictable.

PROCEDURE:-

• - implant consists of a titanium screw (resembling a tooth root) with a roughened or smooth surface.
• - Implant surgery is performed as an outpatient under general anesthesia (if several implants are to be placed) or with local anesthesia(for simple cases).
• - Healing and integration of the implant(s) with jawbone occurs over three to six months in a process called osseointegration.
