When it comes to replacing missing or damaged teeth, there are several options to consider. Dental implants are the one option that stands above the rest. Read more about the top ten benefits of this innovative option.
1. PREVENTS BONE LOSS
When you lose or are missing teeth, you tend to lose bone mass in your jaw. The jawbone needs the stimulation it gets when your teeth connect to maintain their mass. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that provide that jawbone stimulation to help prevent bone loss.
2. MATCHES YOUR NATURAL TEETH
Dental implants come in various shapes and sizes. Dr. Stonisch will work with you to match the color of your surrounding teeth and create a perfect fit in the gap. You will not be able to tell which teeth are implanted.
3. RESTORES BITE FORCE
Dental implants are anchored into your jaw with a titanium post that replaces the tooth root, allowing you to bite with the same amount of force as natural teeth. Other tooth replacement options do not provide nearly as much bite force because they rest on top of the gums and aren’t anchored within.
4. PREVENTS CHANGES IN THE SHAPE OF YOUR FACE
Your facial structure is supported partially by your jaw and teeth. When you lose this support, your face can change shape, appearing older and drawn. Dental implants give similar support to natural teeth.
5. ENABLES NATURAL SPEECH
Some tooth replacement options, like dentures, can impact your speech such as the way you pronunciate words. Because dental implants feel and function just like natural teeth, they enable you to speak naturally.
6. NO CAVITIES
The material in dental implants can’t decay so you will never have to worry about getting cavities in them. Artificial teeth still need to be cared for to prevent bacteria from building up in your mouth and causing infections.
7. EASY TO CARE FOR
With dental implants, you just need to brush and floss like you usually would your natural teeth. They don’t require you to buy special products such as cups, cleansing tablets, adhesives, or special flossers.
8. NO EMBARRASSING SLIPPAGE
Having dentures can sometimes make you feel self-conscious about speaking, laughing, or eating in public, as they can shift positions, leading to misalignment. Dental implants fill the gap, allowing you to maintain a straight, even smile.
9. SUPPORTS ADJACENT TEETH
A gap from a missing tooth can cause the teeth on either side to shift positions, leading to misalignment. Dental implants fill the gap, allowing you to maintain a straight, even smile.
10. A PERMANENT SOLUTION TO TOOTH LOSS
Other tooth replacement options will need to be repaired or replaced periodically, but dental implants will last for the rest of your life.
