What are the benefits of Dental Implants versus a Dental Bridge?

Dental implants look and function like natural teeth without needing the support of neighboring teeth. Because dental implants replace the root of the natural tooth, they preserve the jawbone and prevent bone deterioration. This preservation of jawbone helps to keep both the bone and gum tissue from collapsing, which may lead to an unattractive smile. In addition, with a traditional bridge, cement can wash out from underneath it, exposing the tooth, allowing cavities to form. Dental implants do not get cavities.
