There are some advantages to dental implants that include:

Long lasting fixed alternative to removable dentures

Avoids grinding down adjacent teeth as required by bridgework

Predictable, natural looking and natural feeling results
Implant dentistry does require careful planning to ensure a successful and comprehensive treatment plan that includes surgery.
