Why are Dental Implants better than Dentures and Bridges?
* Adjacent teeth do not have to be ground down to support an implant, such as with bridgework. This is significant for your overall oral health by leaving more of your own teeth untouched. With a tooth-supported fixed bridge, the adjacent teeth are shaved down to support the fixed bridge. * Dental implants are integrated into your jawbone, preventing bone atrophy that occurs when teeth are lost. * Dental implants function just as your natural teeth do, offering you more comfort, stability, and retention than either bridges or dentures.
