If you\u2019re missing teeth, you\u2019re not alone. According to the American College of Prosthodontists, over 178 million Americans are missing at least a single tooth, and 40 million are missing all of their teeth. Unfortunately, this issue can be a natural occurrence associated with aging, as well as a variety of other reasons. With so many restorative options to choose from, it can be difficult to feel like you\u2019re making the best decision for your self-esteem and oral health. Luckily, dental implants utilize the most modern dental advancements and can boost both your confidence and your health. Read on to learn 5 benefits that make this procedure so highly recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Stable And Comfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants<\/a> are surgically inserted titanium posts that fuse with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. Because of this, they\u2019re able to provide your replacement teeth with a sturdy and stable foundation to be mounted onto. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional restorations like dentures can slip and shift in\nyour mouth, making it difficult to perform necessary tasks like chew and speak.\nIn order to keep this from happening, you may have to use messy dental\nadhesives that can taste bad. Because your implants will replace both the root\nof your missing tooth and the biting surface, you won\u2019t have to worry about\nawkward social situations or having to cut out some of your favorite foods from\nyour diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural Look And Feel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ill-fitting traditional restorations can often irritate your gums and be uncomfortable to wear. They can even cause your smile to look unnatural. You can enjoy natural looking, feeling, and functioning teeth with dental implants. Because they don\u2019t rely on suction, they stay firmly in place in your mouth. Additionally, you won\u2019t have to remove them nightly like you would with dentures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevent Jawbone Deterioration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through osseointegration, your dental implants are able to stimulate your jawbone and oral tissues and prevent deterioration. When you leave missing teeth unreplaced, it can cause your bone to slowly erode. This can result in your face appearing saggy or droopy. Traditional restorations don\u2019t stimulate the jawbone, and predominately just provide an aesthetic solution. You get the best for your oral health and self-esteem with dental implants because they don\u2019t just replace the biting surface, but also the root of your tooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durable And Long-Lasting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because implants are made of titanium, they\u2019re lightweight, strong, and long-lasting. When they\u2019re placed, they form a thin oxide layer which keeps them from deteriorating quickly. Also, because titanium can fuse with the jawbone, it provides an even stronger foundation. Since they\u2019re lightweight, they place less weight on your jawbone and oral tissues and allow for a more even distribution of pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional restorations can last 10 or so years when properly cared for, but they\u2019ll need to be replaced eventually. While your dental implants may need adjustments here and there, they can last over 30 years with proper treatment. They\u2019re a fantastic long-term solution for missing teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Need To Modify Your Natural Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One convenient benefits of dental implants is that you don\u2019t\nneed to extract or modify your remaining healthy teeth. With bridges, your\ndentist will need to alter the enamel of your natural teeth to anchor the replacement\nteeth. This puts your natural teeth at risk of decay and infection because their\nenamel is weakened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you need a single tooth replaced, or multiple,\ndental implants have you covered. Why put your self-confidence and oral health\nat stake when there\u2019s a modern dental procedure that could solve it all? Take\nthe first step to get a great smile by scheduling a consultation with your\nimplant dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
