If you have missing teeth, and want to restore your smile’s function and beautiful aesthetic, a common solution are dental implants. These are used to replace the missing roots of your natural teeth, and act as an anchor to hold an artificial tooth in place. A titanium metal rod is inserted into your jawbone (which is permanent), and an artificial tooth is attached on top. You have two options to choose from: permanent dental implants vs. removable dental implants. The distinction between these lies in their attachment mechanism and functionality; with the permanent option being fixed in place and requiring a dentist to remove, while removable dental implants can be snapped in and out/on and off their connectors. To help you through the process of choosing the correct option for your unique dental needs, we’ve outlined what these options are and their differences, as well as, their advantages and drawbacks.
