Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone beneath the gums. Once in place, they allow the dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. Benefits of Dental Implants Improved Appearance: They look and feel like natural teeth. Improved Speech: Unlike poor-fitting dentures, implants allow you to speak without the worry of teeth slipping. Comfort: They eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures. Easier Eating: Implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain. Durability: Implants are very durable and can last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime. Convenience: They eliminate the need for removing dentures and the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
