Eight benefits of using permanent dental implants to replace missing or extracted teeth

• Natural-looking and comfortable: One of the top advantages of our quality, permanent dental implants is that they look and feel like natural teeth. Our team custom-fabricates them to match your existing teeth’ color, shape, and size, making them virtually indistinguishable from your real teeth. This enhances your appearance and makes them more comfortable than other tooth replacement options.
• Long-lasting solution: Our office specifically designed dental implants to be permanent solutions, with a success rate of up to 98%. Implants are a more affordable alternative over time because, with proper care, they can last a lifetime, compared to dentures and bridges that may need to be adjusted every few years.
• Restores chewing and speaking abilities: Missing teeth often make it difficult to chew certain foods or speak clearly. Quality dental implants allow you to enjoy your favorite foods without worry and communicate confidently without slurring or mumbling.
• Prevents bone loss: When you lose a natural, adult tooth, the jawbone beneath begins to deteriorate from the lack of stimulation from the missing tooth root. Dental implants are fused directly to the jawbone, providing the necessary stimulation to prevent bone loss and preserve your facial structure.
• Easy maintenance: Unlike dentures, which often need to be removed and cleaned regularly, dental implants are treated just like natural teeth with your usual, regular brushing and flossing. This eliminates the hassle of having to remove and clean them separately.
• No impact on neighboring teeth: Bridges require adjacent healthy teeth to be reshaped to support the bridge, potentially damaging or weakening these otherwise healthy teeth. Dental implants do not require neighboring teeth for support, minimizing potential harm.
• Improved self-confidence: Missing or damaged teeth can greatly affect self-esteem and confidence. With permanent dental implants giving you a natural-looking and functional smile, you may feel more confident in social situations.
• Enhanced oral health: Dental implants maintain the integrity of your mouth by filling gaps left by some missing teeth and preventing potential oral health issues like gum disease or shifting of surrounding teeth.
