In contrast with teeth bridges, prostheses supported by implants give you better facial contouring and features.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Durability \u2013 <\/b>Because dental implants are made from titanium alloys, they are extremely strong. \u00a0This strength also makes the prostheses placed on them longer lasting as well.
