Advantages Of Dental Implant Treatment

Dental implants are foundations that are fused with your jawbone to support replacement teeth. They have a permanent setting which prevents them from slipping while you talk or eat. They are strong and stable and can restore your smile. Other options for replacement teeth can lead to bone deterioration and may cause difficulty while eating, speaking, or doing other every day activities. Dentists provide excellent and effective dental implant care in San Diego. These doctors can provide you with a treatment that will have long-lasting benefits.

• Long-term solution: When properly placed and properly cared for, dental implants can last a lifetime. Making sure you brush your teeth, floss, and visit the dentist regularly are all key to keep your implants in top shape.

• Improved self-esteem: Missing teeth can be replaced easily with very real artificial teeth. You will not need to worry about dental implants becoming loose or falling out while you talk or eat. The implants are a fixed solution, and will not weaken over time.

• Retain your natural smile: Dental implants can restore your smile to its best, giving your face a brighter and happy look.

• Healthy bone: Missing teeth can lead to overall health issues like the loss and deterioration of your jawbone. Dental implants are the only replacement option that can preserve and stimulate the regrowth of your natural bone.

• Speak easily: Removable dentures can cause difficulty with pronouncing words, however with dental implants, you will not have this problem because they are similar to natural teeth.

• Eat your favourite foods: Enjoy your favourite foods without hesitation. There is no risk in chewing hard foods. Dental implants do not limit what you can eat.

• No cavities: Cavities cannot form in a dental implant, restored crown, or replacement tooth. However, it is still essential to visit your dentist regularly. Proper brushing, cleaning, and flossing is as important as it is with the natural teeth.

• Protect your healthy teeth: While placing a bridge, the dentist has to grind away the adjacent teeth on one or both the sides of the missing tooth or teeth. This damages the healthy teeth to restore the missing ones. However, dental implants fuse with your jawbone where your missing tooth root was, without impacting any healthy teeth. They even prevent the healthy teeth from shifting into the empty space.

• Reliable restoration method: Dental implants have proven to be reliable and have long-lasting, successful results. With proper care, they can last a lifetime. They are typically better than other methods, including bridgework, removable pieces, and re-treatment of a failing root canal (endodontic) therapy.
