A dental implant provides several advantages over other tooth replacement options. In addition to looking and functioning like a natural tooth, a dental implant replaces a single tooth without sacrificing the health of neighboring teeth. The other common treatment for the loss of a single tooth, a tooth-supported fixed bridge, requires that the adjacent teeth be ground down to support the cemented bridge.
Because a dental implant will replace your tooth at the root, the bone is better preserved. With a bridge, some of the bone that previously surrounded the tooth begins to reabsorb (deteriorate). A dental implant integrates with your jawbone, helping to keep the bone healthy and intact.
