Dental implants are one of the best methods for replacing missing or damaged teeth. Although an implant cannot develop a cavity, this does not mean that it is not subject to other dental problems including gum disease.
The advantage of an implant over leaving a gap in the teeth is that it supports the jawbone which is responsible for the maintenance of:
- Teeth
- Gums
- Connective tissues
A dentist will recommend dental implants as they “halt the bone loss process and generate better jawbone density” which can result from missing teeth. More information regarding dental implants can be found at https://yourdentalhealthresource.com/dental-implants/.
