Dental implants are one of the best and most convenient options for replacing missing teeth. Performed in sometimes in just 1 appointment, the implant process generally yields successful results promoting a natural-looking smile, improved teeth functionality and decreasing your chances of bone loss. If you are considering dental implants as a fixed (rather than removable) solution to replacing missing teeth, here are a few pros and cons you should consider:

Advantages of Dental Implants

• Dental implants can last a lifetime if taken proper care of. Unlike dentures, they generally do not need to be replaced after a certain amount of time.
• Dental bridges rely on neighbouring teeth for support, whereas dental implants are fused into your jawbone. This protects your remaining teeth from damage or strain.
• Caring for dental implants is generally quite easy as you would practice the same oral care as you would for your normal teeth. This entails brushing, flossing and regular dental visits.
• Implants look and function like real teeth, with no clicking noises or speaking and chewing difficulties that can occur with dentures.
