All That You Need to Know About Zirconia Dental Implants (Part 3)
Additionally, implants have the advantage of not needing adjacent teeth to be used as anchor for the bridge, crown, or denture.
Due to the natural feel, the patient is less likely to get irritated gums or gag reflex. The mouth will easily accept the prosthodontics better and will get used to the status more easily.
