1. It's Quickly Becoming the Standard of Care

Dental implants quickly became the standard of care when replacing missing teeth. Implants are a great option for restoring one or many teeth because they have a success rate of about 95%, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. They're the closest thing to natural teeth, making them very popular among people who want to restore their smiles.

2. Implants Defend Against Bone Loss

Other options for replacing missing teeth don't offer the benefits that implants deliver. Implants protect against bone loss, as the natural bone will grow around the implant. Other tooth replacement options aren't as secure below the gum line. Because of this, the bone will deteriorate without anything to keep it in place over time.

3. Dental Implants Look and Feel Natural

Implants are easier to get used to than other tooth replacement options because they feel natural in the mouth. The implants take the place of the natural teeth roots. It's more comfortable to eat with implants than with other tooth replacement options. Implants are permanent, they cannot be removed, and they offer more stability because of the permanence of the below-the-gum line installation.

4. The Surgery Is Relatively Simple

Dental implant surgery is a relatively simple process that can restore missing teeth. After the surgery, the recovery time is usually uncomplicated. In some cases, the tooth can be replaced immediately. In other cases, it may take a few weeks to replace the tooth because the implant needs time to heal. However, the results are amazing despite recovery time.

As you can see, dental implants are an excellent option if you have missing teeth. The surgery has soared in popularity, they're safe, and they look and feel natural.
