Facts about DENTAL IMPLANTS
- Dental implants are a permanent and effective tooth replacement solution, used to replace one or more missing teeth.
- Dental implants are made of titanium, a material that is highly biocompatible and easily integrates with the natural bone of the jaw or upper jaw.
- The placement of a dental implant is usually performed in a surgical procedure in the dental office, under local anesthesia or conscious sedation.
- The success rate of dental implants is very high, with an average success rate of around 95%.
- Dental implants can last for many years, even decades, if properly cared for and maintained with good oral hygiene.
- Dental implants not only improve dental aesthetics, but can also improve chewing function and overall oral health, preventing bone loss and gum recession that can occur after tooth loss.
- Although dental implants can be more expensive than other tooth replacement options, such as dentures or dental bridges, the long-term benefits they offer may offset the additional cost.
- Most patients who receive dental implants report greater satisfaction with their dental appearance and greater confidence in their smile after treatment.
