Implants offer some distinct advantages over other methods of tooth replacement, such as removable dentures or crowns and bridges. Implants will minimize the interference with your speech and will greatly improve your ability and effectiveness to chew food. An average person loses 40% of the bone during the first year after the extraction of a tooth and the bone loss will continue thereafter. Implants, being inserted inside the bone, will restore the natural way of transferring chewing forces and prevent loss of underlying bone. Implants enable you to have a single tooth replaced without your neighboring being trimmed for a bridge. Implants provide a number of options, from replacing a single missing tooth to locking in a loose bridge. Implants can offer you increased comfort, confidence and self-esteem. If you have often wished you could have your natural teeth back, then consider implants to restore your Real Smile.
