Benefits of Dental Implants Q&A

Dental implants provide many benefits to patients like you including the following:
 
Dental implants act just like natural teeth
The best thing about dental implants is that it restores full chewing power to the jaw and mouth. It makes it easier to now eat like you would have normally, brush your teeth, and floss.
 
Dental implants last a lifetime
Other dental options on average only last 10 years or so, the benefits of dental implants are they can last a lifetime. It allows you to never worry about having to replace your teeth every few years.
 
Dental implants can help to prevent any bone loss
When there is no tooth or tooth root in the jawbone, it leaves an empty space that starts to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. If it is not replaced within the first year, the bone loss can be as high as 25% and will continue over the years. Dental implants replace the open space and provide the stimulation that is greatly needed.
 
Dental implants keep teeth that are near stable
When there is a gap from a missing tooth, it can cause the teeth surrounding it to start to shift inwards towards the gap, this can affect the bite as well as the ability to chew and your appearance. A dental implant will keep the surrounding teeth stable and secure.
 
Dental implants are able to keep the mouth free of gum disease
A gap in the mouth where a tooth once was can trap food and bacteria in the area which can lead to gum disease.
 
Dental implants prevent any facial sagging and premature aging
Missing teeth in the jawbone can cause facial sagging to occur starting from the lower part of the fact collapsing and gradually closing the distance between the nose tip and the chin. Dental implants prevent this from either happening or going any further.
