Dental implants have a success rate of up to 93–95 per cent, and prosthetic work on implants can have a lifespan of 10–15 years.

When bacteria reach the root of a tooth, they can cause a build-up of pus. This type of infection is called a periapical abscess. Periapical abscesses can also occur in teeth with old or faulty fillings or dental work. These infections do not disappear on their own, so it is important to visit the dental practice for appropriate dental treatment. If left untreated, the infection can spread to the jaw or other areas of the head or neck.

For many years, the only treatment options available for people with missing teeth were bridges and dentures. But today, much more effective and reliable aesthetic and functional options are available: dental implants.
Dental implants are metallic pieces, usually made of pure titanium, in the shape of a screw, which are surgically positioned in the jawbone, beneath the gum. Once they have been installed, dental implants allow the dentist to fit replacement teeth.

It is not unusual to have a mouth health problem from time to time. A mouth health problem can involve your gums, lips, tongue, cheeks, throat, or teeth.
