The implants used to replace missing roots and keep in place the replacement teeth that can be permanently fixed or removable.

The implants are not made for everybody. You must be healthy, have healthy gums; have a bone in the jaw strong enough to support the implant. You must also be ready to be examined by your dentist or dental specialist several times until the job is completed and take care of your (your) implant (s). Finally, implants are more expensive than other types of tooth replacement.
 
 It is normal for the bone to shrink if it supports more teeth. Since the implant integrates with the framework, there is less likelihood that happen. As against, if the teeth were missing for quite some time, it is possible that bone mass is decreased. A bone graft can reconstitute the bone to better support the implant by adding the bone at the point of narrowing. Your dentist or dental specialist will tell you if the transplant is appropriate for you.
 
 Although you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.
