What Are The Advantages of Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth that dentistry currently has to replace missing teeth. They are artificial tooth roots that are added permanently into the jaw to support crowns, bridges or dentures. Dr. Jessica Stilley says, “they are a desirable alternative to bridges or dentures. Dental implants can replace one or more teeth and do not interfere with neighboring teeth.” The experience of having dental implants is very similar to having real teeth. We’ll tell you all of the advantages to having them in this blog.

Dr. Jessica Stilley and her husband Michael, got a new reason to smile in February. That’s when they met Harriet, the dog they adopted and re-named Laila. Once terrified of crossing a threshold, she now sits on the couch with the family to watch TV and sleeps in the master bedroom. Her future could have been very different, however. This is her story.
