When tooth loss occurs, patients are faced with the decision of finding the best solution to replace the missing tooth or teeth. While various options exist, dental implants stand out as a superior, long-term, and high-quality solution. At Dental Škaričić clinic, we believe it’s important to understand why implants are the gold standard of modern dentistry.

• Long-Term Solution with a High Success Rate. Dental implants are made of biocompatible titanium that fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. With proper care and regular check-ups, they can last for more than 20 years, and in many cases, a lifetime.
• Preserving the Jawbone. After tooth loss, the bone in that area naturally begins to recede. An implant is placed in the bone and functions like a natural root, stimulating the bone and thus preventing further loss and deterioration.
• Protecting Healthy Adjacent Teeth. Creating a traditional dental bridge requires grinding down two adjacent, often perfectly healthy teeth to serve as supports. Implant placement avoids any damage to the surrounding teeth.
  
• Superior Aesthetics and a Natural Feel. The crown placed on an implant completely mimics the appearance, size, and color of a natural tooth. Since the implant is firmly fused with the bone, the crown provides a feeling of stability and function identical to a natural tooth.
  
• Durability and Reliability. With proper care, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. This makes them the most cost-effective long-term investment in the health and beauty of your smile.
  
• Improved Function. Unlike removable dentures which are often unstable, implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile without any fear or discomfort.
  
• Restoring Self-Confidence. Tooth loss can significantly impact self-confidence. A permanent and fixed solution like implants gives you back the freedom to smile without holding back.
