Dental implants are now one of the most successful tooth replacement options available and are also the most popular choice for those looking to replace missing teeth. Although dental implants were first placed on a patient in 1969 it seems they've been around for centuries as this report details. Somehow though, I don't think the wrought iron false teeth being hammered in like that would have had the same attraction as the modern dental implants on the market today.

The main advantages of dental implants when compared to dentures or a bridge are:

The look and feel

Because dental implants integrate into your jawbone they look and feel like your own natural teeth.

Give you confidence

Because they are fixed you will have no worries about loose dentures or not being able to eat certain foods. You clean them in the same way you do your natural teeth and will be able to speak with confidence.

Adjacent teeth do not suffer

The teeth that neighbour the dental implants do not have to be altered to support the implant as they would be if you were having a bridge fitted. Because of this there is a huge benefit to your long term oral health.
