5 Reasons to Get Dental Implants
Are you missing a tooth or multiple teeth? Have you been considering getting a replacement, but are not sure what option is best for you?
While there are several different options, we always try to see if dental implants work in your specific situation. We like dental implants for several reasons, but overall because they are a very long-term solution.
Here are five reasons to get dental implants:
1 - Durability
In the process of getting a dental implant, it gets fitted to your mouth and remaining teeth and then fuses with your jawbone. Because dental implants get fused to your jawbone, they are a very permanent and durable option.
2 – Real Feel
Dental implants are made to match your teeth and because of this, they look and feel like real teeth! Add in that they are fused to your jawbone and it really does feel like an actual tooth. This is great for doing everyday things like eating, drinking, and even smiling!
3 – Long Lasting
Compared to other solutions (like dentures), dental implants last a long time. If you take care of them just like you would your regular teeth with consistent flossing, brushing, and dental visits, your dental implants will easily outlast the 5-8 year lifespan of dentures.
4 – Increased oral health
One of the great things about a dental implant being fused to your jawbone is that it protects the bone and oftentimes reduces the risk of bone loss later on. When done well and taken care of, dental implants do not cause infections or periodontal disease.
5 – Aesthetically Pleasing
Dental implants are made to look like real teeth. This makes them a very aesthetically pleasing option. This also means that people who look at you will not even be able to tell! This is a great benefit for anyone who feels self-conscious about their missing teeth.
Dental implants are not a quick or easy solution, but they are the most durable and long lasting. If you are missing a tooth or teeth and want to pursue a dental implant, contact us today!
