Dental implants are one of the modern day treatment option. There is no danger associated with the treatment. U are young with no disease so mostly your bone condition will be apt for implant. The OPG etc will help doctor know the density and bone condition. And the further treatment will be planned accordingly.

Dental implants are just to replace missing teeth. They do not play a role in improving looks if all teeth are already present.
You need to get analysis of your looks and let your dentist suggest what is best for you.

Hello..
If u mean u have a problem the way how the teeth are positioned then you can opt for a orthodontic treatment.. assuming u r too bothered about looks u can opt for clear Aligners where in you don't have to wear braces.. they come like plastic trays which u need to change every 2 weeks..
Pls do not remove your natural teeth unless they are absolutely necessary and your dentist recommends it....

Hi,
Dental Implants are not the solution to improve the esthetics.Other cosmetic options like Digital Smile Designing,veneers and lumineers are better options.

In my opinion it would be better once to have a look at the intraoral condition which are leading you to believe of imperfect smile. There are indeed procedures like veneering and laminate or just orthodontics which can be advised prior to getting dental implants.
