Dental Implants can offer a permanent and comfortable alternative to dentures or bridgework. Often, utilizing a dental implant to restore edentulous areas minimizes treatment on adjacent teeth, creates better function, and improves longevity as compared to other options. Implant modalities include using a single implant to replace a single tooth, multiple implants to replace several teeth, multiple implants to replace all teeth, and multiple implants to stabilize dentures. Risks and benefits of dental implants should be considered on an individual basis and discussed with your doctor in conjunction with a comprehensive treatment plan.
