Eight benefits to getting dental implants

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, implants offer benefits no other restoration treatment option can match.

1. A permanent solution

Other tooth replacement options often require repairs over time, but dental implants are engineered to last for the rest of your life.

2. A natural-looking smile

Modern enhancements in crown manufacturing mean your replacement tooth will look more natural than ever, including the size and color.

3. Restore your ability to bite and chew

Dental implants provide the same biting force as natural teeth because they are anchored into your jaw with a titanium post. This means you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite foods.

4. Protect your bone tissue

With your natural teeth, roots push down on the jaw when you eat to create pressure and encourage the bone to strengthen and grow. The titanium post in a dental implant replaces the root in this process, ensuring that your jaw stays strong and doesn’t shrink over time.

5. Speak naturally

Missing teeth or a partial or full denture can make it harder to pronounce certain words. Because implants act just like natural teeth, there is no adjustment period that requires patients to learn how to speak with their restoration.

6. Easy to care for

Dental implants are as simple to care for as your natural teeth. Just brush, floss, and rinse.

7. Prevent drifting

Having one or more gaps in your smile can lead to issues down the road as your remaining teeth can move to fill up the space. Implants can prevent your remaining natural teeth from drifting out of place.

8. No need to damage healthy teeth

Unlike a dental bridge that requires one or more healthy teeth to be ground down to install the restoration, the crown that fits on your dental implant is self-supported.
