The Benefits of Dental Implants

 

  • Dental Implants are the strongest and longest lasting tooth replacement solution.
  • They look and feel like natural teeth. Most people don’t even notice the difference between their dental implants and their other teeth.
  • A tooth supported by a dental implant has nearly the same biting and chewing power as a natural, healthy tooth. This means you can eat all the foods you want without discomfort or difficulty.
  • Dental Implants don’t require you to alter your other teeth. Other tooth replacement options, like dental bridges, require you to grind down adjacent teeth. These teeth are not as strong or healthy after having been ground down.
  • When teeth are missing, bone loss occurs in the jaw. This bone loss gradually causes a loss in facial support. Your lips become thinner, your chin moves in towards your nose and mouth, and your cheeks sink in, causing deep wrinkles and folds.
  • Dentures don’t do anything about this bone loss, and in fact, can make it worse. And once the bone loss happens, the dentures don’t fit as well, move around, make it hard to eat, and need to be adjusted just to fit your changing jaw.
  • Dental Implants allow you to chew normally, which keeps the bone in your jaw stimulated. This prevents bone loss and all of the problems it causes.
  • Dental Implants help the teeth next to your lost tooth remain stable. They won’t move towards the empty space or lose stability from bone loss.
  • And Dental Implants can last a lifetime just with normal care.
