Over it are attached the prosthetic dentures or crowns.

Your overall appearance definitely improves remarkably and you start looking and feeling much younger than your actual age because implants not only correct the lost bone mass of your jaw but also correct wrinkles, drooping chin, thin lips and more importantly removes that sulky old look. You start feeling a lot more healthier because your diet improves dramatically. Oral health also improves as you can floss and brush normally as natural teeth.
