Dental implants are so versatile that they enable us to replace individual teeth or anchor dentures for unprecedented security. They can also be used to support dental bridges.
A dental bridge requires two anchors, one at each end. Implants can be used to anchor one end, with a healthy tooth supporting the other end. Or, depending on the number of missing teeth, two implants can be placed, eliminating the need to modify any healthy teeth.
Implants offer the additional benefit of stimulating the bone of the jaw every time a patient chews or bites. This natural stimulation helps keep the bone healthy while maintaining a youthful facial shape.
