5 Ways Dental Implants Can Change Your Life
If you or a loved one has experienced tooth loss, it is important to choose a tooth replacement option as soon as possible. Living with an open space in your mouth is not ideal and can lead to serious oral health complications in the near future. We work with our patients to select an option that will benefit their lifestyle and goals for their oral health. One treatment that is especially popular with our patients is dental implants. We want to share 5 benefits of dental implants and how they can change your life. Read on to learn more.
5 Benefits to Dental Implants
Dental implants are one of the top tooth replacement options for patients all across the country. Millions of people choose dental implants because of the many immediate and long-term health benefits.
If you are unfamiliar, a dental implant is a titanium post that is placed into the jawbone to act as the tooth root. Over time, it fuses with the bone, creating a permanent solution. To complete the process, an artificial tooth structure, such as a permanent crown, bridge, or denture, is placed to cover the implant.
Following treatment, patients often comment that dental implants have changed their lives. Many wish they had received treatment sooner. There are 5 benefits that we want to mention:
Permanent
One of the biggest benefits of dental implants is that they are a permanent fixture in the mouth. They provide the same stability as natural teeth.
Natural Looking
The tooth structure that is used to complete the process will be color matched and blend in perfectly with your natural teeth.
Preserve Jawbone
Dental implants provide the stimulation needed to keep the jawbone healthy and intact.
Easy to Maintain
Once the dental implant has healed, your daily care is to brush and floss just as you do with your natural teeth. We also recommend regular hygiene examination appointments every 3 months.
No Food Restrictions
Implants function the same way as natural teeth, so patients are able to enjoy their favorite foods with no restrictions or worry about teeth becoming damaged or falling out.
We believe that these benefits make dental implants one of the best tooth replacement solutions available to create the beautiful, natural smile you desire. If you have been considering dental implants and would like more information, please contact our office, which is located in Denton, MD. We would love to schedule an appointment with you and help you on your way to a beautiful new smile.
