Dental implants provide a strong foundation for permanent or removable prosthesis that are made to match your natural teeth.
Natural teeth have a crown and a root. Conventional dentures simulate only the crown part of the tooth.These also lead to reduction in bone height over the period of time.
On the contrary, implants simulate the entire tooth. Root portion is placed in the bone followed by the crown which is loaded on it after few months. Implants fuse with the jawbone to form a secure foundation for tooth replacement.they maintain the overall health of the bone and gums.
