Dental implants offer several benefits that other restoration options can’t match. Read on to learn why dentists widely agree that dental implants are the most effective option for replacing missing teeth.
Many of the benefits that dental implants provide are thanks to the process of osseointegration, in which your implant fixture fuses with your jawbone to take the place of a natural tooth root. This acts as strong support for your replacement tooth and helps it stay securely in place.
This also prevents your jawbone from losing density, which can lead to misaligned teeth and a sunken facial appearance if left untreated. Additionally, dental implants are resistant to infection and help you avoid the development of periodontal disease.
If you’re struggling with gaps in your teeth or with removable dentures, then you understand how difficult it can be to eat certain foods. Because of the strong support provided by osseointegration, dental implants function like natural teeth so you can chew all your favorite foods without discomfort.
Dentures are also known to slip out of place while you’re speaking, resulting in social embarrassment. Dental implants are anchored securely to your jawbone to ensure they’ll never move around or slide out of place. You can finally enjoy the freedom of eating and speaking without any concern.
Whether you choose a porcelain crown, a multi-tooth bridge, or a full-arch denture, your completed restoration will blend in naturally with the rest of your smile. You’ll no longer have to worry about hiding gaps in your teeth or feeling self-conscious around others. With the help of dental implants, you’ll finally be able to smile with confidence again.
Other tooth replacements can be very inconvenient and difficult to keep clean. For example, dental bridges require special cleaning tools and dentures need messy adhesives to hold them in place.
Dental implants offer a better alternative because they never move out of place and you can clean them like your natural teeth, with daily brushing and flossing. You also won’t need to buy any special products or solutions for your implants.
Due to their security and durability, dental implants have a success rate of more than 95 percent. They’ll also save you money in the long run because they don’t need to be replaced nearly as often as other replacement options. With proper care, your restoration can last for 10 years and your implant fixture can last a lifetime.
