If you have thought to yourself that there must be some extraordinary way you can replace your tooth so that it seems like you never suffered from tooth loss, you’re on the right track. Dental implants provide patients with a surprisingly vast array of benefits. These prosthetics are titanium posts that we will use to replace your roots. After a recovery period, we will place a crown or other restoration on top of the post to restore the rest of your tooth. Wondering how implants may improve your smile and your life? Prepare to be impressed.
Dental Implant Benefits
- Smile Protection. Whether your smile is straight or not exactly how you want it, the last thing you want is for your current state of alignment to shift. Unfortunately, a misaligned smile is quite common as a result of tooth loss because your remaining teeth will begin to travel toward the opening. A dental implant replaces your missing tooth, so your teeth stay put.
- Jaw Protection. Did you know that your roots stimulate your jaw, which in turn keeps your jaw healthy? The reason jaw tissue often diminishes after tooth loss is because of this very issue. If you no longer have a tooth or roots, stimulation ends and your jawbone may become damaged. Fortunately, an implant post that replaces your roots reinstates the stimulation to protect your jawbone.
- Implants Are Stable. The reason dental implants offer such exceptional stability is the fact that they are solidly anchored within your jawbone. You won’t experience this with any other prosthetic.
- They Last And Last. Don’t be surprised if you meet someone who has had his or her dental implants for many years. It’s completely possible that your implants may last the rest of your life. In most cases, the key to enjoying long wear is excellent daily care (which primarily includes brushing and flossing).
