challenging cases with dental im-plants. There are many reasons whysomeone might need dental im-plants. Sometimes if you’ve beenwearing dentures for many years, thedenture can hurt your jaw when itmoves around. Implants will stabi-lize your dentures. When your teethare missing or dentures are uncom-fortable or painful, it doesn’t just af-fect the way you look, it makes itdifficult to eat and to talk. Many peo-ple become depressed.
