Dental Implants in Pietermaritzburg – A Permanent, Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement
Causes of Tooth Loss
Tooth loss often increases during colder months when dental pain flares up, infections spread faster, and gum inflammation becomes more common. Smoking, diabetes, and poor oral hygiene also raise the chances of needing implants.
Why Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the closest replacement to natural teeth. They look real, feel comfortable, and work like your original teeth. Implants make eating easier, improve your smile, and prevent bone loss that normally happens when a tooth is missing. They also help keep nearby teeth stable and maintain your facial structure.
