Dental implants have revolutionized modern dentistry as one of the most effective solutions for the treatment of tooth loss, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits. Compared to traditional prosthetic options, implants provide a longer-lasting and more stable alternative, especially following the discovery of the concept of osseointegration.
