If you have missing or damaged teeth, there are many options for replacement, including bridges, dentures, and implants. Dental implants have an artificial root made out of titanium metal which is inserted into the jawbone. An artificial tooth, usually made out of porcelain or acrylic, is anchored to the implant. Dental implants are increasingly becoming the popular choice for tooth replacement. If you are considering whether dental implants are right for you, consider the following benefits:
The Advantages of Dental Implants
- After a few days, an implant will feel like it is part of your jaw. You will not have any trouble with eating, speaking and any other daily activities involving your mouth.
- Dental implants can last forever provided you care for them properly.
- No more missing teeth smile! You have a complete set of teeth and nobody can tell an implant from your real teeth.
- If you are missing teeth, this condition can cause your jawbone to deteriorate over time. Dental implants prevent that from happening and keeps the jawbone strong and firm.
- You don’t need to remove your fake teeth and put them in a cup at the end of the day. Just brush your dental implants as you would your natural teeth.
- Dental implants feel and function exactly like your natural teeth.
- No restriction on your diet. Eat all you want, how much ever you want and whenever you want.
- Brush and floss without hesitation.
- Because they are made out of materials like porcelain and acrylic, dental implants cannot develop cavities. Though they still require daily care, they are not vulnerable to the same conditions as natural teeth.
- With permanent dental implants, you will not have to endure any embarrassing denture-related incidents. Do dentures falling out, no gummy smiles, no one finding your dentures on your nightstand.
- They have no adverse effect on your natural teeth. In fact, the root quickly fuses to the jawbone and functions just like a natural tooth.
- A dental implant procedure is one of the easiest and most recommended procedures with great results and durability.
