The advantages of dental implants are :

*  Tooth structure is preserved because there is no need to cut down adjacent teeth for conventional bridgework.

*  Long-term studies on implants conclude that restorations on implants last for a longer time than conventional restorations on teeth.

*  Implant overdentures improve biting, chewing efficiency and speaking due to improved support, stability and retention in comparison to loose fitting dentures.

*  Implants preserve the adjacent bone on edentulous patients who loose faster bone when they use conventional full dentures.
