    Dental implants provide a foundation for replacing teeth and can look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They preserve tooth and bone structure while providing additional support and resistance to disease, but do require minor surgery and have a longer treatment duration. Complications can occur from issues like inadequate hygiene, excessive forces, smoking, or pre-existing patient health problems. While expensive initially, implants can last over 10 years.
