Benefits of Dental Implants

 

Explore the many benefits of dental implants for your smile. Please note that, depending on your unique circumstances, we may coordinate your care with a specialist.

​

Smile with Confidence

 

Dental implants look and feel like your own natural teeth! This means that you’ll never have to worry about your teeth occasionally slipping, like you would with a full or partial denture. Instead, dental implants are stable and long-lasting.

​

Preserve Jawbone Density

 

Once you lose a tooth, your body starts to absorb the minerals in your jaw to use elsewhere. While this is incredibly resourceful, it can also make your appearance look more sunken over time. Likewise, it can affect the fit of your dentures and reduce the stability of surrounding teeth. A dental implant is the only treatment option that replaces the entire structure of a missing tooth, including its roots. This helps preserve the bone density in your jaw.

​

Eat Your Favorite Foods Again

 

Dental implants function like natural teeth, which means you’ll be able to continue eating your favorite foods. This also allows you to enjoy better nutrition by being able to incorporate more fruits, vegetables, and protein into your diet.

​

How to Care for Dental Implants

 

Care for your dental implants as you would your own natural teeth. In addition to seeing us for routine preventive care, please continue to practice good oral hygiene at home. This includes brushing twice a day for two minutes at a time, as well as flossing once daily. Likewise, avoid chewing ice, popcorn kernels, nuts, caramel, or other foods that are sticky and/or hard.
