As a permanent solution to missing teeth, dental implants are some of the most innovative solutions in dentistry today. Dental implants can hold a dental crown, bridge or denture just like roots hold your natural teeth in place. And with dental implants, there is no need to destroy the good, healthy tooth structure, which makes it an ideal solution for most patients seeking an improved cosmetic dental appearance and restored chewing function. If properly cared for, a dental implant can last a lifetime.
