Dental implants offer the most advanced solution for replacing missing teeth. This treatment involves placing a small titanium post into the jawbone beneath the gumline, which supports a tooth, bridge, or denture. The post fuses with the bone, creating a custom-fitted restoration that remains securely in place.
When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone begins to shrink or atrophy due to lack of stimulation. This not only affects your smile but also alters the shape of your face, making it look sunken and prematurely aged. Missing teeth can lead to:
- Gaps in your smile
- Bone loss
- Difficulty chewing properly
- Altered diet and nutrition, leading to health issues
- Increased risk of heart disease and strokes
According to the American Dental Association, over 5.5 million dental implants are placed annually in the U.S. Here’s why they’re a popular choice:
- Improved Appearance: Dental implants look and feel like your natural teeth, and they fuse with the bone, making them a permanent solution.
- Improved Speech: Unlike dentures, implants stay firmly in place, allowing you to speak clearly without worrying about slippage.
- Improved Comfort: Implants eliminate the discomfort associated with removable dentures.
- Easier Eating: Implants function like natural teeth, making it easier to enjoy your favorite foods without pain.
- Improved Self-Esteem: They restore your smile, boosting your confidence.
- Improved Oral Health: Implants don’t require altering adjacent teeth, preserving your natural teeth and enhancing long-term oral health. They also make oral hygiene easier.
- Durability: Implants are very durable and, with proper care, can last a lifetime.
- Convenience: Unlike removable dentures, implants stay in place without the need for adhesives.
Dental implants generally have a success rate of up to 98%. Proper care ensures they can last a lifetime.
