You may be concerned about the cost of dental implants when comparing them to other restorative options, including dentures and dental bridges. If you are willing to invest in your teeth long-term, dental implants have many advantages that other options just don’t. As restorations for missing teeth, dental implants have earned the “gold standard” title for the permanent health, functional, and aesthetic improvements they provide. Unlike other options, dental implants are the only tooth replacement that address issues of bone loss, eating and chewing difficulty, speech, and overall facial aesthetics. When successfully placed and restored by specialists in their field, you can expect your implant investment to last you the rest of your life.
