Dental implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements that are used in treatment of tooth loss. There are a number of options for the treatment of missing teeth; none have proven to be as effective and durable as implants. Dental implants are sometimes the only logical choice for the restoration of necessary teeth as they leave remaining teeth intact.
Strong, durable and natural in appearance, implants are among the most successful dental procedures performed (95% success with the right after care). People who have lost teeth might feel too self-conscious to smile or talk. Additionally, tooth loss can have a negative effect on eating habits and this can lead to health problems like malnutrition.

Advantages of implant dentistry
Dental implants are stronger and more durable than their traditional counterparts (bridges and dentures). Implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss. Implants can be used to hold, single or multiple teeth, or can be used to increase stability of dentures.
