Why Dental Implants are the Best Replacement for Missing Teeth
June 21, 2018
Missing teeth are a serious dental issue, and not enough patients who suffer from tooth loss realize it. Once you lose a tooth, your entire bite begins to shift as your other teeth start taking advantage of the space created. This can lead to a substantial change in facial structure over time. If you want to keep your smile, early replacement is the only option, and dental implants provide you with a path to replacement that is durable, permanent, and beautiful once it is in place.
What Are Dental Implants?
The shortest and clearest answer to this question is also incredibly simple. Dental implants are durable and beautiful porcelain replacement teeth anchored by titanium constructs to your jaw so they stay in place permanently. Dental Implants were designed as an alternative to bridgework, but they are also useful as an alternative to dentures.
What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants?
- Every other option for tooth replacement eventually needs to be replaced itself, but dental implants are permanent.
- They are also durable, even more durable than natural teeth in most cases.
- They can be cleaned like natural teeth.
- They are beautiful and bright, like whitened teeth, so you can have a stunning smile with implants.
- Individual porcelain replacement teeth can be repaired or replaced easily in the event of damage.
- Full or partial implants allow you to preserve your natural smile as it was before tooth loss if you act quickly enough.
