Dental implants have proven numerous times to be the most preferred treatment for replacing a missing tooth. The procedure has been continually incorporated by dental experts for over thirty (30) years with a ninety-eight percent (95%) success rate. With the right implant dentist, the entire procedure tends to be more comfortable, can last for over thirty (30) years and is significantly less invasive when compared to the traditional dental bridge or other treatment options.
When missing multiple teeth, your otherwise positive, mental, social and physical well-being goes on a downward spiral. Traditionally, many individuals are very unfortunate to have been compelled to choose between the rather expensive, transitory, unattractive and inconvenient large dental bridges and partial dentures.
However, with the emergence of dental implants, you now have a reliable option to have your missing teeth replaced to function and appear just like your original teeth. The procedure is very quick and highly comfortable for all patients. With dental implants, you get to achieve your smile goals, eat your favorite foods and feel a lot better about yourself.
