Strong and stable, a dental implant restores a lost tooth so that it looks, feels, fits and functions like a natural tooth. Unlike dental bridges that rely on neighbouring teeth (abutments) for support, dental implants are fused into your jawbone. This is feature is especially important when the neighbouring teeth adjacent to the gap are unrestored, as implants will protect these teeth from damage or strain.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
