Is Dental Implant the Best Tooth Replacement Option available today?
YES! When it comes to replacing a single or multiple missing teeth- Dental Implants should always be the first option as they are hands down the best tooth replacement option in modern dentistry.

But just to summarise-
It is a surgical- grade, sterile titanium post that is inserted into the bone of the missing tooth where it fuses with the bone and mimics the missing root. It is then used to anchor an artificial crown/ cap, following which your implant acts like a functional tooth.
They are a fixed option meaning that you do not have to remove them at night/ while eating and never have to worry about them falling off at inopportune times.
They are long lasting - the biggest benefit is that if you take care of your oral hygiene and prevent gum disease which involves routine cleaning with your dentist, there is no reason why you should experience any problem with your implant. Since your implant depends on the surrounding bone to stay in place- make sure the tissues are healthy and prevent gum disease.
They do not affect the other teeth- especially in case of single tooth replacement. The only other alternative is a dental bridge which involves cutting the teeth of either side of the missing tooth. Often times these teeth are healthy and are essentially ‘harmed’ just to provide support for the bridge. Dental Implants in such situations should be your only option.
Dental Implant crowns are custom made and hence our lab technician will make sure that it is natural looking and aesthetic.
They are comfortable since they stay in place an do not wear down your gums and bone like removable prosthesis. They do not require an adhesive and will never cause sore spots.
Dental Implants preserve your bone and facial profile making you look more youthful. When you have a tooth pulled out and do not replace it- the bone starts diminishing in that area which makes your skin sink in, it wrinkles easily and your face looks a lot older.
Dental Implants do not affect your speech since they are small unlike bulky dentures which makes pronouncing certain words and sounds difficult.
They do not affect your sense of taste unlike a partial or denture with a plate which can cover your taste buds and prevent you from enjoying food that you love.
