The Benefits of Dental Implants
Benefits of dental implants include:
- Bone retention
- Convenience
- Esthetics/cosmetics
- Bite preservation
- Long-term solution
When you lose teeth, the relationship between your roots and jawbone is disrupted. This can cause your bone to slowly dissolve in the area where your tooth once helped to provide stability. Since dental implants are similar to natural teeth in the way they integrate with your bone, your implant can prevent this from happening.
Dental implants mimic natural teeth and you can care for them in much the same way. You can brush and floss your teeth normally without the need for special flossers or brushes to clean the area.
Your smile is important. Your dental implant will fill in the gap in your smile. Dr. Scott Jordan makes sure that it will match your natural teeth so that it blends perfectly. No one will notice you have a dental implant.
When left with a gap in your smile, your teeth will tilt toward the gap, creating a host of additional problems with your oral health. Your dental implant holds your natural teeth in place, much like a bookend, and ensures that your bite stays comfortable.
Because they integrate with your bone for added stability, your dental implant will provide a long-term (often lifelong!) solution to a missing tooth. As long as you take care of your dental implant, you can expect many years of reliable service. Be sure to practice good home care and have regular dental cleanings.
