Approximately 21% of all Americans are missing some or all of their teeth. This is a common condition. Nevertheless, the gum loss that results from wearing a complete denture is all too often a source of discomfort to the patient. Consider just the difficulty involved in chewing or the abrasion that develops as the loose denture rubs against the gum. The denture wearers' quality of life can be gravely affected.

Fortunately, dental implants have advanced to the point that it can remedy the major problems that result when one loses all one’s teeth. The tremendous popularity of implants has largely been the result of people living longer and their desire to fulfill a lifestyle with the greatest possible pleasure.
