When natural teeth are lost or are not able to be saved, quality of life can often be improved and enhanced with the integration of dental implants and implant-retained teeth. Esthetically pleasing replacement teeth that not only look, but feel and function like natural teeth, can be fabricated and custom-fit to accommodate different types of dental implants. These may be single-tooth implants, or a series of implants to replace multiple missing teeth, followed by the fabrication of dentures or partial dentures that fit over the implants. There are also options for “fixed” restorations for multiple implants; these prosthetics are a more permanent solution and are not removable by the patient.

Advantages of dental implants
There are several benefits to dental implants such as:

• Replacement teeth that look,feel and function like natural teeth
• Replaces missing teeth
• Improves oral health,appearance, and function
• Preserves the jawbone
• Permanent and stable solution
• Restores normal biting and chewing function
• An additional and very important benefit can be the reduction or elimination of bone atrophy.
