What are the advantages to dental implants over other types of tooth replacement?
Implants stay in your mouth, you never have to remove them for care and they cannot slip or come loose. They require no special care. Overall they are the closest thing to your natural teeth that you can choose. Because the rod is inserted into your jawbone, they prevent bone and gum shrinkage, preventing facial collapse and avoiding the need for refitting and replacement that removable false teeth require. In the long run they are less expensive.
