Dr. Elise Brace at Kildaire Family & Cosmetic Dentistry offers personalized replacement tooth solutions. We can help patients who suffer with any number of missing natural teeth.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
A dental implant-supported restoration is the most natural tooth replacement option available. They function like real teeth, feel like real teeth, and also look like them. When compared to other teeth replacement options, no other solution will offer these extremely important benefits.
- Dental implants are strong and can last forever. If you properly care for your overall and oral health, your implants should last a lifetime.
- Teeth implants are the only option that will prevent bone loss in the jaw. Missing teeth will result in the bone slowly deteriorating because of lack of stimulation. Dentures and bridges will not provide the necessary stimulation to help prevent bone loss. Only implants can do this.
- No other tooth replacement solution will preserve your facial appearance like teeth implants. Bone loss in the jaw will make your face appear sunken in, and deep wrinkles to form. This will make you look years older than you actually are. When you preserve your jawbone with implants, you also help maintain the natural shape of your face.
- Removable dentures have a bad reputation for moving around when they don’t fit correctly, or their fit changes over the years. This leads to slurred speech and difficulty speaking. Since implants are secure within the bone, there is no chance of the restoration shifting around in your mouth.
- Dietary restrictions are typical with certain restorations, especially removable ones. You will need to avoid hard-to-chew foods, which include many healthy foods. Teeth implants will allow for a greater chewing force since they are secure within the jaw bone. You will have little to no eating restrictions, and you will be able to consume a healthy diet.
- Dental bridges often replace missing teeth, however they require damaging healthy teeth to properly secure them. To accommodate the bridge, the dentist will need to reduce two adjacent teeth that will endure extra pressure. However, you will not need to harm your healthy remaining teeth if you choose to use dental implants. An oral surgeon will place at least two dental implants in the jaw to support the bridge.
- Dental restorations that don’t fit can lead to embarrassing moments. They can slip around in your mouth and can even fall out if you are not careful. Using dental implants to secure your restoration will eliminate the worry and stress of it falling out!
