The Long-Term Advantages of Dental Implants

teeth, health, smile, dentistDental implants replace missing teeth. They are similar to natural teeth both in appearance and function. Dental implants consist of a titanium post and a dental crown attached to its end.

The following are the long-term benefits of investing in dental implants for your smile.

Stimulated Bone Growth

Dental implants stimulate growth of bone in the jaw. With tooth loss, the bone that supports a tooth will soon start to diminish with time. The result is loss of bone, shrinking of the face and an aged look.

Dental implants help to enhance the fullness of the face and provide a younger look. The jaw can remain strong and healthy over a lifetime.

Save Money

With proper care, dental implants can last you a very long time. The effect is that they will save you lots of money on future replacements. The dental implants will not require frequent replacement as is the case with bridges and dentures. The crown is replaced but only after a decade or longer.

Cut Back the Risk of Cavities

Bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease cannot attack the dental implant. With proper oral care and regular visits your dentist, you can have a healthy smile all through life.

Prevent Teeth from Shifting

Getting dental implants in place of missing teeth will help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position. The body naturally compensates for missing teeth by pushing remaining teeth into the gap. Dental implants will eliminate the need for cosmetic dental work resulting from shifting teeth.

Enjoy Eating Food Once More

Dental implants will ease chewing after they replace the missing teeth. You will no longer be worried about the dental implants falling out leading to embarrassing situations like is the case with other tooth replacements.

With dental implants, you can enjoy all the foods that you used to enjoy before losing the tooth. Dental implants function just like natural teeth.

Confidence

Lastly, you will have greater confidence once you get dental implants. You will have the confidence to smile again and to fully express yourself through speech and social interactions.
