Authors' objectives:
This report aims to assess the effectiveness, costs, and complications of dental implants.
Authors' recommendations:
Implants have evolved into a practical alternative for consumers. However, all people are not ideal candidates for implants. Implants may be the best option for those with atrophy, those who have lost a part of their jawbone or have trouble chewing. Also, those who have concerns about how they look or sound may see implants as an option. Overall, implants tend to be more expensive than traditional treatments. However, implants may have comparable costs with some traditional treatments. Costs vary due to the materials utilized and the amount of reconstruction required.
