SOME CLINICAL SITUATIONS, WHICH CAN BE RESOLVED WITH THE HELP OF DENTAL IMPLANTS.
Only a dental implant can replace the root of a missing tooth. If a root is not replaced, bone loss will occur resulting in undesirable consequences such as the inability to place implants without bone grafting procedures. Implants can eliminate the need for sticky denture adhesives, and even the need for dentures entirely.
Unlike traditional bridge restoration techniques, dental implants eliminate the need for cutting down two healthy natural teeth to replace one missing tooth. So we preserve the periodontal ligaments of teeth.
