Why are dental implants so popular?
The biggest reason for the popularity of dental implants is their success. There is nothing that a dentist can offer to replace missing teeth that has the potential to last as long as dental implants. As life expectancy increases (86 for women and 78 for men) the need for a reliable permanent dental replacement system for missing teeth has become more evident in the overall health of the patient. Implants provide people with dental replacement that are both functional and esthetic. The demand has always been there, dentists just needed the tools to fulfill that demand.
