Dental implants are useful to replace missing teeth. They are replacement roots that are placed in the bone to serve as anchors for a tooth to be placed on. Another way that implants can be utilized is by placing snap on attachments on them to help stabilize removable dentures and partials. For single teeth, they can help replace a tooth without needing to do anything to the surrounding teeth. They can be used as anchors for bridges just like teeth when multiple teeth are missing in the same space. Dental implants serve as a good tool to replace missing teeth for optimal function and appearance.
