The Endless Benefits of Dental Implants
The smiles of millions of patients around the world have been restored by dental implants, giving them replacement teeth that look, feel and work like natural teeth.
Dental implants have completely changed the way dentists and surgeons collaborate to repair missing teeth over the last three decades. To help a bridge, patients no longer have to choose between wearing a temporary appliance and cutting off other teeth.
Because dental implants are replaced tooth roots, teeth can be replaced without the surrounding teeth being involved, and when a tooth is damaged or removed, they retain the bone that typically melts away.
Dental Implant Benefits
Dental implant therapy is recommended by surgeons in our practice because it is the standard of care and the preferred form of tooth replacement for the following reasons:
Dental implants are the only choice for tooth replacement that avoids the resorption/deterioration of the bone that happens when a tooth is lost or removed.
As compared to cutting them down to put a bridge or hooking a partial denture on them, this is also the only treatment choice that retains the adjacent teeth.
Dental implants have the highest long-term success rates of any treatment choice by far and this has been recorded for over four decades in the scientific literature.
Since dental implants are meant to last a lifetime, retain bone and do not affect the long-term health of adjacent teeth, long-term care of dental implants is the most cost-effective choice.
Dental implants are designed to be like your natural teeth, to look, sound and work. Moreover, implants give patients the courage to smile, eat, and participate in social activities without thinking about how they look or whether their dentures are going to fall out.
Implants last as long as traditional restorations on teeth with correct treatment and maintenance, with consistent performance.
Well designed and cared for dental implants normally give equal or better than other teeth replacement options' survival rates '. And as implant software and methods develop, so should their success rate. People in good health have the highest chance of having implants successfully.
Like natural teeth, dental implants are anchored within your jaw bone. They can help retain the jaw bone over time and decrease bone resorption significantly. Replacing missing teeth with implants helps you to chew easier and talk more clearly about your food.
By eliminating the need to cut neighbouring teeth for traditional bridgework, dental implants conserve natural tooth tissue. They can also protect the bone and reduce bone resorption and degradation dramatically, resulting in loss of jawbone height. Dental implants also help to restore the structure of the jawbone because they reduce the load on the residual oral structures/teeth and retain natural tooth tissue and decrease bone resorption and degradation, resulting in loss of height of the jawbone.
