What are the Advantages of Dental Implants?

It can be a difficult choice to make when you are looking at options for tooth replacement. While many people are more familiar with more traditional options like removable dentures, everyone should take the time to consider dental implants. Dental implants are a treatment option that involves attaching individual replacement teeth, multiple teeth or bridges into a foundation in the gum. Dental implants have many advantages that are worth considering if you are looking to replace lost teeth.

 

Convenient

Dental implants are replacement teeth that are attached directly to your jaw, just like real teeth. This allows you to not have to worry about shifting tooth replacements like dentures. You can eat, speak, laugh and smile without worry.

 

Durable

With Implants you don’t have to worry about your new teeth wearing down or breaking quickly. Dental implants require the same care that normal teeth do. They are generally maintained  with normal brushing, flossing, and regular visits to your dentist. With proper care they can last a lifetime.

 

Attractive

No matter what kind of teeth you have there are replacement teeth that can perfectly match your existing teeth. Your implants can be made the exact shade of your existing teeth, and will fit in perfectly. Many implants can be hard to differentiate even to the trained eye.

 

Having dental implants put in is considered a safe and simple process, and most people with healthy gums and jaw bones are eligible. However, as with all decisions about your teeth you should meet with a dental specialist before fully deciding on anything.
