Dentistry is advancing day by day. In this advancing era of technology and innovation, implant dentistry is providing multiple benefits and ease for dentists as well as patients. It is predictable solution for replacement of missing teeth. Implants are artificial root analogue that snugly fits in bone and provide strong foundation for crown, bridge and dentures.
ENHACED APPEARANCE:
Dental implants come in variety of shape, sizes and angulations to exactly match adjacent teeth and provide natural appearance. Implant retained prosthesis provide more natural appearance it fuses within the bone, and no lay person can appreciate the difference between natural and prosthetic tooth. It restores arch continuity without even damaging and altering adjacent teeth.
IMPROVED RETENTION:
Implants increase fit of denture and prosthesis and provide resistance to dislodgement with greater retention, resistance, support and stability. This is specifically advantageous in elderly patients who require complete dentures with poor quality and quantity of bone. Implant supported dentures provide far greater experience than conventional complete denture. It is firmly anchored in bone and eliminates the use of frustrating denture adhesives.
INCREASED CHEWING EFFICIENCY:

LONG LASTING AND DURABLE:
Implants are made from titanium which is non-irritant, nontoxic, very durable and highly compatible with living tissue. With proper care and maintenance of oral hygiene it may last lifetime. Dental implants are reliable with very high success rate.
PRESERVE BONE:
After tooth extraction bone loss continues progressively over the years, it diminishes in quality and quantity over time. Since implant mimic natural tooth it provide necessary stimulation to underlying bone which helps to preserve remaining bone.
LESSEN AGING APPEARANCE:
With advancing age facial sagging, wrinkled appearance, tooth loss, thinning of lips and decrease in height of lower third of face is common. Implant supported complete dentures restores facial profile and prevent premature aging appearance.
BETTER PHONETICS:

Implant supported prosthesis allows natural cleaning, brushing and flossing same as you brush your natural teeth.
SUPPORT FOR EXTRA ORAL PROSTHESIS AND ANCHORAGE FOR ORTHODONTIC TOOTH MOVEMENT:
Dental implants are also beneficial and useful to retain extra oral prosthesis like eye prosthesis, nose prosthesis or ear prosthesis. Mini dental implants can also provide necessary anchorage for orthodontic tooth movement.
IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE:
