Implants are a great option for people, for missing teeth, because they allow teeth from drifting, plus, you also end up not losing bone level. Teeth tend to drift. They can also alter the bite in creating jaw problems. Plus, you’re also getting the cosmetic benefit of actually having a tooth in there. It’s not just a single tooth restorations anymore to give that cosmetic factor, or the ability to chew on a side of a tooth, or something like that.
Now with all-on-four type restorations, where you can replace teeth, where people have had dentures in the past. Now you can have over dentures, where you can place a couple implants and use a traditional denture and snap it into place, allows it to stabilize it. You’re allowed to eat and chew and function on things normally. They have all-on-four dentures where you can put up to four or five implants in an arch and do a full mouth restoration in something that stays in there permanently, and that’s just like your natural teeth. So, lots of opportunities with dental implants to be able to move your life in a progressive direction and actually restore the missing dentition, or the arches, that you didn’t have for years, if that’s the case.
