Anyone who has had oral health problems in the past and has lost teeth as a result could find that dental implants are the perfect solution for their problems, it has been claimed.
Los Angeles dentist Dr Neda Naim has argued that while it can be more painful and take longer to fit dental implants, the treatment can last a lifetime and give a more realistic end result.
Dr Naim commented: "Dental implants are truly a complete dental solution when it comes to restoring a natural looking, natural feeling mouth."
He added that in many cases, dental implants mimic the feel of real teeth so closely that many patients forget that have implants at all.
Elsewhere, research reported in the study Dental Implants Market: Increasing Familiarity to Drive Growth recently forecast that the global dental implant market is likely to have doubled by 2015.
It claimed that the durability and improved functionality of dental implants mean that more people rare likely to turn to the treatment instead of having bridges or dentures fitted.
