How do dental implants work?
Dental implants fuse to the surrounding bone and by doing so provide fixed stable anchors for dental restorations. When strategically placed, implants can be used to support a variety of dental restorations thereby eliminating the need for a removable denture. The cost tends to be greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble real teeth. Success depends on successful integration and restoration design. Regular maintenance is critical to maintaining both a biological and mechanical stability and preventing premature failure of the restoration.
