When should dental implants be used?

Dental implants are typically used in the following situations:

- To replace a single missing tooth. A single dental implant can be used to replace a single missing tooth, without affecting the adjacent teeth.

- To replace multiple missing teeth. Multiple dental implants can be used to replace multiple missing teeth, in a row or in different parts of the mouth.

- To support a dental bridge. A dental bridge can be supported by dental implants, instead of by natural teeth, providing a stable and long-lasting solution.

- To support a denture. A denture can be anchored to dental implants, providing a more secure and comfortable fit.

- To improve the appearance of a smile. Dental implants can be used to improve the appearance of a smile, by correcting gaps or misalignments.

- To enhance chewing ability. Dental implants can enhance chewing ability, by replacing missing teeth and restoring the proper bite.

- To improve overall oral health. Dental implants can improve overall oral health, by preventing the shifting of teeth and the deterioration of the jawbone.
