Improved
appearance
Each tooth is has a crown and a root. The crown is visible while the
unseen root anchors the crown to the jawbone, providing stable
support. Many options are available for replacing a crown but only
dental implants can replace a root.
Shrinkage of the
jawbone occurs if the root is not replaced, causing your face to
appear older. Dental implants stop this process.
Improved
comfort and speech
Dentures shift inside your mouth causing mumbling, slurred speech
and clicking noises. Gum irritation and pain from exposed nerves are
also associated with full or partial dentures. With dental implants,
these problems are at once eliminated. Dental implants are anchored
securely to the jawbone.
Eat what you
want
Typical denture patients with excellent fitting dentures eat at 15
to 20 percent of the efficiency of people with natural teeth. Dental
implants can restore lost chewing efficiency. This allows you to
once again enjoy your favorite foods.
Smile with
confidence
With dental implants, your teeth will be secure. You will no longer
need to cover your mouth when you laugh or smile.
Maintain
healthy adjacent teeth
There is no more
need to grind down two adjacent teeth in order to place a bridge.
Dental implants eliminate the need to modify healthy teeth,
resulting in a more conservative and esthetic restoration.
Long-term
tooth replacement
With false tooth, a
root is missing. Bone continues to shrink under the false tooth and
creates a visible defect. Implants preserve bone and minimize
additional dental work. With good dental implants in place, most
patients can expect life-long guarantee.
