Advantages of Dental Implants
Dental implants are almost as good as healthy, natural teeth. Here is a list outlining the biggest benefits of dental implants:- Strong and stable. Dental implants restore lost teeth so that they look, feel, fit and function like your natural teeth.
- Built to last. Implants are a long-term solution and with proper care often more than 10 years.
- Cavity resistant. Cavities don’t usually occur in an implant-restored crown or replacement tooth.
- Keep your natural face. A face left without teeth can sag and appear sunken. Dental implants can keep the face looking full.
- Protect your jawbone. Leaving empty spaces in your mouth after losing one or more teeth can lead to the loss and deterioration of your jawbone.
- Eat and speak normally. You can bite naturally, eat virtually anything you want, and talk as you normally do, which is not something all dental appliances offer.
How the Dental Implant Process Works
When you get dental implants, you’ll replace your tooth roots with titanium posts. These dental posts are like screws for artificial teeth. This is what makes implants look and function like real teeth. Each dental implant procedure looks a little different based on the following criteria:- The number of teeth needing to be replaced.
- Your current health condition.
- Your schedule.
- Your budget.
