Why Dental Implants Are the Top Teeth Replacement Option

Dr. Kevin Hogan • May 11, 2018

Dental implant technology overcomes many of the challenges faced with other procedures such as dentures, bridges, and crowns, making them the preferred treatment method among dentists today. A few of the most common benefits of dental implants include the following:

Improvement in your oral health : Dental implants do not alter your natural teeth or require support from adjoining teeth.

Easy care: Once installed, you care for dental implants as you do your natural teeth. They require daily brushing and flossing and routine visits to the dentist.

Long-Lasting and Durable : When cared for correctly, implants can last the remainder of your life.

Affordable : While dental implants have a higher upfront cost than alternative treatments, you save money over the long term due to the durability and longevity of implants.After the initial outlay,there are no special cleaners or adhesives and no ongoing cost of repair, adjustments, or replacements.

Improved comfort and speech : Dental implants include a titanium root that secures the tooth to the jawbone allowing it to function like your natural teeth. Due to its placement, there are no concerns about movement when talking or eating.

Bone stimulation : Other teeth replacement options do not support the bone structure the way dental implants do. The titanium post placed in the jawbone fuses to the bone to act as a natural root. The new anchor stimulates bone growth and the tissue surrounding the new tooth,supporting the jawbone like your natural roots. Alternative procedures such as dentures or bridges do not strengthen the jawbone or surrounding tissue. The lack of support can lead to serious challenges such as gum disease, deterioration of the jawbone, and even facial sagging.
