What is wisdom teeth removal?

The four permanent adult teeth, called wisdom teeth, are placed at the mouth's top and bottom rear corners. A wisdom tooth removal (or wisdom teeth extraction) is a surgical procedure to remove one or more of the wisdom teeth.

In dental implant surgery, tooth roots are replaced with metal screw-like posts, and damaged or missing teeth are replaced with prosthetic teeth that resemble actual teeth in appearance and function.

What are the advantages of dental implants?

• Better looks:
• Dental implants have the same look and feel like natural teeth. They also become permanent since they are made to merge with bone.
• Better speech:
• If your dentures don't fit properly, your teeth may move around in your mouth and cause you to slur your words. You may converse with dental implants without worrying that your teeth could slide.
• Enhanced comfort:
• Implants alleviate the pain associated with removable dentures since they integrate into your body.
• Easier eating:
• Chewing might be challenging with sliding dentures. Dental implants imitate the function of your natural teeth, allowing you to consume the foods you love painlessly and with confidence.
• Increased self-esteem:
• Dental implants can restore your smile and boost your self-confidence.
• Durability:
• Implants are quite long-lasting and durable. Many implants can last a lifetime with enough care and maintenance.
