Dental implants are a permanent replacement for missing or damaged teeth which look, feel, and function like real teeth. Bridges and dentures can offer a solution but there are several benefits to dental implants if they are available to you.

Longevity and Durability

Dental implants are typically made of titanium and integrated into the jawbone. With proper care, they can last a lifetime. Bridges and dentures typically last 7-15 years and dentures need to be replaced or adjusted every 5-10 years.

Bone Preservation

Implants stimulate the jawbone like natural roots and prevent bone loss or facial collapse over time. This means your mouth and jaw health will be maintained over the course of your life.

Stability and Function

Because implants are a fixed, permanent solution, they don't slip and give the experience of natural teeth. You can eat all the foods that natural teeth allow you to eat so, you don't have to compromise your diet. You can enjoy meals with family and friends without the stress or discomfort of other non-fixed solutions

Oral Health and Adjacent Teeth

Dental implants don't put pressure on your gums or surrounding teeth. They also don't require filing down adjacent teeth for support like other solutions. The implants are integrated naturally with your existing teeth.

Comfort and Feel

Because implants don't require bulky plates or adhesives, they feel and function like normal teeth.

Maintenance

Dental implants don't require any special upkeep, maintenance, or special care. You brush and floss them to keep them healthy just like normal teeth!

Dental implants are the most natural way to replace missing or damaged teeth. Although it is a longer process, requiring different phases, the result is a lifetime healthy smiles without worry, extra maintenance, and compromise.
