Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements that are used
to correct tooth loss. In many cases, dental implants may be the
only logical choice for restoring lost use of the teeth and
supporting structures. Also, people who have lost teeth might
feel too self-conscious to smile or talk. Dental implants are
stronger and more durable than bridges or dentures. Today's
dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural
teeth.
