If you\u2019re missing teeth, replacing them with dentures or a bridge can easily fix your appearance as well as frustrating problems like difficulty eating or speaking clearly. But while these solutions do look and function like natural teeth, there\u2019s still a few problems they can\u2019t correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants<\/a> can solve all these issues and more. Here are a few benefits to these restorations that go way beyond the basics!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement. Unlike dentures and bridges, they are permanently affixed to your jawbone, providing a lasting, beautiful smile. They are comprised of three parts: the implant, the abutment, and the crown (tooth). These pieces are surgically attached, so they can\u2019t be removed by the patient, nor do they need to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Benefits of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because dental implants are permanent, they won\u2019t need to be replaced every five to ten years like dentures or bridges. Because they are attached to your jaw, they also don\u2019t need to be taken out for cleanings and can be cared for just as you would your real teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They both look and feel like natural teeth, and because of their strength, you can use them to eat a full, healthy diet without fear of damage or slipping. They also provide important stimulation that keeps your jawbone and remaining teeth healthy. This not only prevents them from shifting, but it also reduces the risk of falling out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can Dental Implants Make Me Look Younger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best perks of dental implants that you may not have heard about is the instant facelift you can get from replacing those fallen teeth. You see, when you\u2019re missing even just one tooth, you are at risk of a few unintended consequences. First, your jawbones can deteriorate, causing you to need a bone graft, but also putting your other teeth at risk. This, in conjunction with the empty space or spaces from lost teeth can cause your face to appear as though it is sagging or hollowed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you fill in those gaps in your arches with dental implants, your face instantly looks younger and more supported. It\u2019s like getting a facelift and a new smile all in one! In fact, with all that beneficial support, your new dental implants will essentially reverse the aging process!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know all the great things that dental implants can do for you, you may be wondering whether they\u2019re right for you. The good news is that if you are missing one or more teeth, have no current dental problems, and are ready for the best smile ever, you could be a good candidate, but you\u2019ll need to schedule an appointment for a consultation with your dentist to find out. Don\u2019t worry, even if you don\u2019t qualify for dental implants initially, it is still possible to become qualified following treatment, so don\u2019t automatically count yourself out just yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, dental implants have myriad oral health and cosmetic benefits. If you are missing one or more permanent teeth, speak to your dentist today about this life-changing treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
