The field of dental implants is one of the fastest growing areas in dentistry. In 2019, over 3 million implants were placed in the United States and that number is predicted to grow in 2020.
Dental implants are very popular due to the high success rate of the procedure (over 90 percent) and the results of these implants are very beneficial.
In the past, removable full or partial dentures,and/or cemented bridges were the only options available to replace missing teeth. In most dental offices today, single or multiple implant options are available. The function, comfort and longevity of dental implants now make them the superior choice for replacing missing teeth.
Although the financial investment for dental implants is higher than dentures and bridges, the end result is longer lasting comfort. There are some dental insurance plans that partially cover implant procedures.
If you have any questions about dental implant procedures or if you wonder if implants are an option for you, consult with your dentist.
