Overview

Dental Implants are replacements for tooth roots and missing or damaged tooth. The procedure replaces damaged or missing tooth with metal (Titanium) screw-like posts and artificial ceramic teeth that look and work like any normal tooth, only much better.
The implants could be done for one tooth to several teeth or the entire teeth set. Dental implants are better alternatives to conventional techniques such as ‘bridges’. Due to the great extent of relief offered by this procedure and this being very similar to natural teeth, Dental Implants are seen as a welcome technique desired by many.

Dental implants are stronger and more durable than dentures or a bridge. They offer a permanent and a more lasting solution to tooth loss.

The average life span of a bridge is 10 years, but dental implants last a lifetime. Success rate of the bridge further decrease if root canal teeth support bridges or any of the supporting teeth becomes loose or decayed.
Dentures can be very unstable, and may lead to denture sores or speech difficulties and cause embarrassing situations when they fall out from mouth during speech. Moreover they are do not chewing efficiency like your teeth. These dentures typically last between 3 to 5 years and during that time they often need to be relined (made thicker) as the bone continues to resorb, or deteriorate.
