Keep reading to learn why no one will be able to tell that you have dental implants!
What are Dental Implants?
Before understanding how they can provide you with a beautiful appearance and maximum comfort, it will help to know what exactly dental implants are. Dental implants are tiny titanium posts that are placed in your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Because they’re made of titanium, a biocompatible material, implants actually fuse to your jawbone to create a permanent support for your dental crown or restoration. With proper care, they can last a lifetime and they offer health benefits that you can’t get with other solutions.
Can Dental Implants Provide a Natural Tooth Replacement?
Because dental implants are rooted into your jawbone, they allow for extreme comfort and beauty. They are the only comprehensive tooth replacement, meaning they replace your whole tooth from the root up. This artificial tooth root is mounted with a custom-made dental crown. These are fabricated to match the exact size, shape, and color of your natural dental structure.
Here’s where dental implants are unique: they allow your dental crown to mimic the exact way that your natural teeth emerge from your gums, which gives you a seamless and attractive tooth replacement. Regular crowns, bridges, and dentures will not have this same appearance.
Other Benefits of Dental Implants
The benefits of dental implants don’t stop there. Patients also enjoy these advantages:
- Dental implants allow for restored biting power and strength—letting you eat all of your favorite foods.
- Dental implants are the only replacement that stimulates your jawbone to keep it strong and healthy.
- The most versatile replacement solution, dental implants can be used to replace one tooth, multiple teeth, or even a whole row.
- Because they are rooted in your jaw, dental implants allow you to eat, speak, and laugh with the confidence of knowing that your replacement teeth aren’t going anywhere.
