When it comes to treating damaged and missing teeth, dental implants offer a number of advantages over other options. Following are just a few of the benefits.
- Long lasting: While traditional dental bridges require replacing at some point, dental implants can last a lifetime when they are placed and cared for properly. They are designed to be a long-term solution and may only need small adjustments rather than full replacements.
- Natural looking: Dental implants fit and function like normal teeth. They are strong and stable options to replacing lost teeth, and they offer improved eating and speaking abilities. Additionally, certain options result in bone deterioration, something that is less likely with dental implants.
- Confidence boosting: Since dental implants have a more natural look and feel, they allow patients to quickly regain their self-confidence. Rather than worrying about pain or appearance, patients with dental implants can smile and laugh without thinking about missing teeth.
