This advanced restoration treatment provides numerous benefits\nthat you simply can\u2019t get with dentures or dental bridges. Read on as your\nlocal implant dentist explains the key differences that set this modern tooth\nreplacement option above all the rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Natural Look, Feel, &amp; Function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are truly one of the most lifelike options\nfor replacing missing teeth. They\u2019re able to seamlessly blend into your smile\nthanks to their natural:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Look: <\/strong>The visible crown of a dental\nimplant is made of beautiful white dental porcelain. This material is well-known\nfor how closely it mimics the appearance of healthy tooth enamel. <\/li><li><strong>Feel: <\/strong>Since it\u2019s anchored into your jaw instead\nof resting on your gums or secured to the neighboring teeth, dental implants\nwon\u2019t feel uncomfortable or pop out of place. <\/li><li><strong>Function: <\/strong>Dental implants are\nstain-resistant and can restore up to 80% of your biting force, which means you\ncan continue to enjoy all your favorite foods like steak and corn on the cob. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Permanently Rebuild Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebuilding your smile with dental implants is an investment\nin your smile that\u2019s meant to last. Dentures typically need to be replaced after\nseven to fifteen years of use, while dental bridges have an average lifespan of\nten years. With dental implants, you can fully expect your new teeth to last\nfor decades to come. They require no special care or cleaning techniques\noutside of regular brushing and flossing, which can help them stay functional\nand beautiful for a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Restoring Your Smile &amp; Oral Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing to replace your missing teeth with dental implants\nbenefits the health of your smile just as much as its appearance. Dental implants\nare the healthiest option for your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Gums: <\/strong>Dental implants are made of\nbiocompatible materials like titanium and dental porcelain, which don\u2019t\nirritate gum tissue. What\u2019s more, they don\u2019t place extra pressure on the gums\nlike dentures do, which means they don\u2019t cause any sores either.<\/li><li><strong>Natural teeth: <\/strong>Dental bridges often\nrequire shaving off some of the enamel of nearby teeth to fit properly. Dental\nimplants don\u2019t require any alteration to your remaining natural teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Jawbone and facial structure: <\/strong>Unlike any\nother tooth replacement option, dental implants replace a tooth\u2019s roots as well\nas its crown. This stimulates blood flow to the jawbone, prevents deterioration,\nand keeps the facial features from looking sunken or aged. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how many teeth you\u2019re missing, dental implants can\nhelp rebuild your beautiful, confident, and functional smile. Talk to your local\nimplant dentist today to find out if this tooth replacement option is right for\nyou!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>When you visit the practice of Dr. Derek Song, you don\u2019t\nhave to drive all over Burlington, MA to get the complete, healthy smile you\ndeserve.
