Dental implants are now popular for people who want to replace damaged, broken, or missing teeth as part of a smile makeover. Teeth implants are advanced dental restorations that offer patients many advantages and benefits over traditional options. Despite costing more and taking longer to implant, dental implants are the only solution that functions, looks, and feels like natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Implants offer greater biting strength than dentures and bridges. Implant-supported fake teeth have nearly the full chewing power of natural teeth, allowing patients to eat a variety of foods and maintain a healthy diet.
- To place a dental bridge, the dentist must grind down the two adjacent teeth to accommodate the restoration. This will also add pressure to the two healthy teeth. Dental implants will only replace missing teeth and do not require harming healthy teeth.
- Dental implants are the only restoration that replaces the missing tooth’s root structure. The implant provides the stimulation necessary to prevent bone loss. Bone loss will alter how a non-implant restoration (bridge or denture) fits, and you may need to adjust or replace it. Jaw bone deterioration can also cause the face to appear sunken in and the patient to appear older than they are.
- Many denture wearers report slurred speech and many other embarrassing situations. With dental implants, the patient can laugh, eat, and speak confidently. Since they are surgically placed, the fear of their teeth slipping around in their mouth while eating and possibly falling out mid-conversation is eliminated.
- Implant-supported restorations are also known to last a long time. Teeth implants withstand the wear and tear of daily life. Most implants will last 15-20 years and sometimes longer if cared for properly. This includes daily brushing, flossing, and any other care recommended for restoration.
- In general, dental implants have a very high success rate, about 97%. Every patient is different, so the success of their implants will depend on many factors. Discuss these factors at your consultation at our Morristown, NJ dentist office.
- Implant restorations are the most natural-looking and feeling option for replacing missing teeth. They do not require metal clasps, often visible while smiling, to hold them in place, and don’t need messy adhesive.
