Dental implants have many advantages over dentures, including: Better ability to chew. Dentures can slide around inside your mouth, which may make chewing difficult. Dental implants are fixed in your jaw, like your own natural teeth, which allows you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.

The dental implant body is surgically inserted in the jawbone in place of the tooth's root. The dental implant abutment is usually attached to the implant body by the abutment fixation screw and extends through gums into the mouth to support the attached artificial teeth.
