“Are dental implants worth the money?”

Yes.

Dental implants can be a great option for patients who have lost one or more teeth. They offer several benefits, such as improved chewing ability, better speech, and a more natural-looking smile. Additionally, implants can help maintain the bone structure of the jaw, which can deteriorate over time after tooth loss. While dental implants can be more expensive than other options, they are often considered a long-term investment in your oral health. Other options, such as dentures or bridges, may need to be replaced or adjusted over time, which can add up in cost. Ultimately, whether dental implants are worth the money will depend on your individual needs and preferences. A dental professional can evaluate your oral health and provide personalized recommendations based on your situation.

Dental Implants can be lifechanging from the standpoint of function and also esthetics. However, not everyone is a good implant candidate. Best to seek an advice of an expert dentist to evaluate each patient's situation and then determine what is best course of action.

Yes, they preserve your bone which helps from creating bone loss near the adjacent teeth. They also replace a missing tooth to help with chewing and esthetics. In addition, if you replace the missing tooth with a bridge, then that means the two teeth to the side of the missing tooth would have to be drilled down to be smaller to fit the bridge on top of them.
