Implant is for lifetime once fused into the bone completely will not require multiple re- placement into bone if hygiene maintenance is good.

  • No change and distortion in the shape of face due to loss of teeth or bone
  • Can be done immediately after removal of damaged or decayed tooth.
  • Closely resemble natural tooth root and simulate emergence of artificial crown from implant as if natural tooth is coming out of root.
