Implants are a safe, well-established treatment used to replace missing teeth, or fill in gaps that will prevent your other teeth from shifting into spaces left by gaps. Much like natural teeth, implants can last a lifetime as long as you care for them, attend regular checkups and bi-annual hygiene appointments. Lifestyle and diet are important to implants and your overall dental health. If you do not maintain your oral health implants will develop a coating similar to what appears on neglected natural teeth. Left untreated, this can lead to gum infection, bleeding, soreness and general discomfort – all the usual problems you can expect to encounter with natural teeth.
