- Q：What are the merits of implants?
A： - Beautiful tooth line
With implants, we will restore your natural and beautiful smile so you can continue going about your Tokyo life in full confidence.
- Natural feeling
You will not experience any discomfort while eating or speaking with an implant. Your bite will be natural and the same as it would have been with your natural set of teeth.
- No damage to surrounding healthy teeth.
Implants will not cause any damage to the healthy teeth around them. Dentists formerly used a bridge to attach an implant to a healthy tooth, but this is no longer necessary, making the intervention less intrusive.- Q：Who is a good candidate for an implant at the Tokyo Ryo Implant Institute?
A：Everybody is a good candidate! Implants have great aesthetic advantages and can result in better diction and phonetics. Implants are especially recommended for people whose appearance is important in their line of work, but we also recommend them to anyone who is not satisfied with their current denture and would like to see an improvement. Be able to enjoy Tokyo’s gourmet scene with a new denture!
- Q：Is it possible to have a natural bite with Implants, as compared to your own teeth?
A：Yes. In fact, your bite could be even better than with your natural teeth.
