Benefits of Dental Implants

The next best thing to the real deal, dental implants are designed to look, feel, and perform like your natural teeth. They can give you more confidence in your smile and, since they can last up to 25 years, these permanent tooth replacements often provide more long-term value than other replacement options like fixed bridges and dentures.

Here are the top benefits people enjoy most about dental implants.

Natural Look and Comfortable Fit

Dental implants come in a wide range of shapes and sizes making it easy to match them to your natural teeth. They function just like real teeth and give you the confidence you need to eat and participate in social activities without worrying about things like loose dentures. Only you and your dentist will know which teeth are implants!

Dental implants also feel great in your mouth. They replace the discomfort or pain of damaged teeth and make it easier to bite and chew. And since they don’t slip like dentures do, natural speech is also possible.

Reliable and Long-Lasting

With proper care and maintenance, your implants will last as long as conventional tooth restorations. They’re as strong as your natural teeth and can be maintained in the same way: a consistent home dental routine and regular visits to the dentist keep your implants in great condition.

High Success Rate

A permanent solution to tooth loos, dental implants generally offer a “survival rate” higher than other teeth replacement options. As implant techniques and technologies improves, their success rate will rise even higher. People with generally good overall health and health habits have the best chance for successful implants.

Improved Eating and Chewing

Because they’re anchored directly into your jawbone, dental implants allow you to chew your food better. Over time they also help preserve your jawbone and significantly reduce bone resorption or bone loss.

Improved Facial Features

Did you know that missing teeth can change your face’s structure and give it a sunken, aged appearance? By preserving natural tooth tissue, dental implants avoid the need to cut down adjacent teeth for conventional treatments like bridge work. They also reduce the load on your remaining teeth and prevent the deterioration that can result in loss of jawbone height.

No More Cavities

Though it’s important to care for your implants just as if they were real teeth, the material they’re made from can’t decay. You never need to worry about getting cavities in your dental implants!

A Permanent Solution to Tooth Loss

All these benefits make dental implants a terrific investment in your long-term oral health. They give you a healthy, natural smile, help maintain your face’s shape, and give a boost to your confidence. Ready to schedule a consultation for dental implants?
