Dental Implants are artificial replacement tooth root that is fixed to the jaw bone to hold a tooth crown. It is a permanent replacement of missing teeth, which lasts for a lifetime and totally mimics natural teeth both functionally and esthetically.
Dental Implant consists of three components:
Dental Implant | Dental Bridge |

Lasts lifetime | May need to be redone after few years |
Stronger than natural teeth | Not as strong as natural teeth |
Brilliant esthetics | Good esthetics |
No grinding of adjacent teeth | Adjacent teeth needs to be grinded |
Strength of adjacent teeth is not compromised | Strength of adjacent teeth is compromised |
