Loosing teeth can be embarrassing, traumatic experience. Not only is the ability to chew lost, but it can also affect self-esteem. It can alter lifestyles. Dentures often are not a exact replication of natural teeth esthetically or functionally. Often patients also wearing an upper denture may have trouble tasting food because the palate is covered. Implants are a proven solution for one or even an edentulous patient. Instead of reducing adjacent teeth for abutment attachments for a bridge, a single implant can be inserted. Removable partials also use clasp and rest, which have to be carved into teeth. As the pressure of chewing is exerted, the partial rocks back and forth. This can cause the teeth to loosen, causing them to be lost over a period of time due to trauma. If the patient is already edentulous and wearing dentures, implants can still improve the anchorage and prevent dentures from wobbling or clicking allowing the patient to eat foods that were impossible without the extra support of implants.
