Dental implants<\/a> are artificial tooth roots that are placed in your jaw to serve as a stable support for your restoration (false tooth). Implants can be used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or even a whole row of your smile.<\/p>\nOnce the implant is in place (a small post made from titanium) your dentist can create restorations that mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth.<\/p>\n
What Are the Advantages of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n
There are many benefits patients see from receiving dental implants. See below some of the most common advantages patients enjoy:<\/p>\n
Improved Appearance<\/h3>\n
Dental implants look and feel just like your own set of pearly whites. Because they fuse to your jawbone, your false teeth will appear to emerge from your gums, just like your natural teeth. Other replacements won\u2019t have this same effect.<\/p>\n
Improved Speech<\/h3>\n
Other replacements like dentures can slip and move around when you talk. Dental implants allow you to speak and laugh with the confidence of knowing that your teeth aren\u2019t going anywhere.<\/p>\n
Easier Eating<\/h3>\n
Some replacement options come with the caveat of avoiding hard or sticky foods. Well, what if your favorite snack is caramel or popcorn? The good thing is that dental implants function just like your natural teeth, so you can eat all of your favorite foods without even thinking about it.<\/p>\n
Better Self-Esteem<\/h3>\n
Dental implants can complete your smile, no matter how many teeth you need replaced. A complete and healthy smile will lead to better self-esteem. Smiling more gives off the appearance of youthfulness, confidence, and success.<\/p>\n
Improved Oral Health<\/h3>\n
Last but certainly not least, dental implants don\u2019t require modification of your surrounding natural teeth. This helps with your long-term oral health because you\u2019ll have more of your natural teeth intact. Individual implants also offer easier access to brush and floss your teeth, which improves oral hygiene.<\/p>\n
After reading about dental implants and their benefits, does it sound like they\u2019re the right replacement option for you? Contact your local dentist to get started on a complete and radiant smile.<\/p>\n
