Why Dental Implants?
Dental implants are becoming an increasingly popular method for replacing missing teeth. In this procedure, titanium supports are surgically fused with your jawbone, and act as an anchor for naturally looking false teeth. Dental implants are not only used for individual tooth replacement, but can also be used when replacing multiple teeth as an alternative to dentures.
Advantages of Dental Implants
Implants are extremely natural looking.
Fusion of the implants into your jaw make them very stable and comfortable compared to traditionally dentures.
They last a lifetime.
