People With Dental Implants Live A Higher Quality Of LifeDid you know that there is a direct link between quality-of-life and missing teeth? Though dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, they aren't the right solution for everyone. And so, for every occassion, there are treatment options: porcelain bridges, partial or complete dentures, and the mini denture implant. The dental implant is the easiest and most natural way to replace a missing tooth or teeth. They look, feel and function just like your own. Dental implant solutions are predictable, functional, and offer superior aesthetics over alternative solutions. What Are Dental Implants You Ask?Dental implants are small titanium fixtures that serve to replace the root portion of a missing tooth. Provided adequate bone and correct anatomy, the dental implant can be placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw so that it functions as an anchor for the replacement tooth (the restoration). After the implant "fuses" to the jaw (osseointegration), the crown, also called the 'abutment' can be placed.
