Dental Implants
Dental Implants offer patients an amazing solution for tooth loss. Other options for tooth restoration such as traditional dentures and bridges have in the past done well for patients. However, thanks to advancements in the dental industry dental implants have emerged as the most reliable and permanent solution for missing teeth and tooth restoration. One major dissatisfaction with dentures is that patients experience a lot of discomfort due to the unnatural feel of the dentures. Dental implants are a really great alternative to other restorative tooth restoration options because they fit and feel exactly like the patient’s natural teeth.
Three Great Things About Dental Implants
1. Implants Are a Permanent Solution
Unlike dentures which are held in place by using adhesives dental implants are permanently anchored into the patients mouth. This is done by securing a titanium post into the jaw and then connecting this post to the dental crown which is the visible part of the implant. The crown matches the natural teeth.
2. Implants Offer Patients Greater Freedom and Confidence
Dental Implants also offer patients more freedom and confidence because it helps improve their smile, restores function to a patient’s mouth, and it also helps improve their quality of life by allowing them to:
- Speak without any discomfort
- Chew all of their food properly
- Smile without embarrassment
- Brushing them like natural teeth
- Flossing them like natural teeth
By restoring function to a patient’s mouth dental implants make performing all of the above daily tasks a simple process. Also, dental implants are structured like natural teeth making cleaning them easy to go.
3. Dental Implants Preserve Bone Structure
Dental Implants help to preserve your bone structure. When missing teeth occur this also can lead to the loss of bone within a patient’s mouth. Thankfully dental implants can help to restore this bone loss. The jawbone can begin to look misaligned or sunken in if bone loss deteriorates so restoring bone loss through dental implants is very important. Also, if needed bone grafting can be done. Preserving the bone structure of your face is very important for the aesthetic appeal and your oral health.
Schedule A Consultation
If you’re considering dental implants or if you would like an alternative to traditional dentures it would be beneficial if you reached out to your dentist to set up a consultation to discuss treatment options.
