Should You Get Dental Implants?
More than 35 million Americans are missing all of their teeth, while 178 million are missing at least one tooth. A dental implant will function much like natural teeth. While there are other tooth replacement options, dental implants have many advantages over other treatments. They are called implants because an artificial tooth root is placed, or implanted, in your jawbone. It is then covered by a natural-looking tooth replacement. Implants are the only tooth replacement option that incorporates an artificial root, allowing them to function much like natural teeth.
About Dental Implants
Benefits:
Here are five major benefits to consider when deciding between dental implants and other tooth restoration options. Dental implants are convenient and long-lasting. Unlike dentures, you don’t need to take them out to eat or clean and there’s no need to reapply adhesive. Implants also provide a permanent solution to tooth loss and they are built to last a lifetime.
Look:
Get the look, feel, and function of your natural teeth. Dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth so you can look and feel your best. They also function like real teeth, meaning you can bite naturally and eat the foods you love without hesitation. Implants also don’t interfere with speech like some other replacement options. Implants leave your natural teeth unaltered. Some treatment options, like a dental bridge, require grinding down other healthy teeth to support the bridge. Implants replace lost teeth but do not require any alteration of your existing healthy teeth.
Oral hygiene:
With implants, it’s easy to maintain that bright, beautiful smile. You can take care of your teeth, as usual, flossing once a day and brushing twice daily.
Bone loss:
Implants prevent bone deterioration and loss. When you lose teeth the jawbone deteriorates, causing your face to appear sunken over time. Implants act as an artificial tooth root, stimulating the jawbone, and promoting bone growth. This helps maintain the natural shape of your face and jaw. You should never let tooth loss keep you from a healthy, beautiful smile. If you have experienced tooth loss, come and talk with us today.
