Dental implants have become the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering a solution that not only looks natural but also functions like a real tooth. However, a common question arises: Are dental implants truly permanent? While implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution, their permanence depends on various factors such as oral hygiene, lifestyle choices, and overall health.
Invisalign has transformed orthodontic care, offering a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. However, as more patients choose Invisalign, questions about its impact on oral health, particularly the risk of gum recession, have emerged.

Pregnancy is a time of heightened awareness about health, and this extends to dental care.
