For those who are missing one or more teeth, implant dentistry is a welcome procedure. It can get very embarrassing to smile in public with a tooth missing or eat certain foods with several teeth missing. In such a case the two options available are dentures or implants. Dentures have been known to be uncomfortable and painful at times and thus are not a favoured option. Implants on the other hand offer several benefits.

One of the biggest advantages of implants is that it prevents the shifting of teeth in the mouth due to the gap. This can change the alignment of teeth which brings its own problems. Also due to teeth missing there is muscle attachment. This makes it seem like the skin is sagging. When implants are fixed it helps the muscles get stronger and the teeth to remain aligned. This gives the face a healthy look.

Dental implants can also be used as an alternative for collagen or plastic surgery. By changing the size of the teeth or their colour or even their shape, wrinkles can be lessened as it will expand the skin.

Dental implants, instead of other face altering surgeries is as effective and succeeds in giving the face a younger, fresher and completely new look.
