The Benefits of Dental Implants
If you're active and don't like the idea of full or partial dentures, or if you're missing one or more teeth, have you considered dental implants? They're permanent; they look and feel like your own teeth; they let you chew all types of food without discomfort or embarrassment; and, they can even stop bone loss!
The Growing Popularity of Dental Implants
Did you know nearly 40 million people in America have lost some or all of their teeth? For many Americans, dental implants have become an increasingly popular choice to replace lost teeth. In fact, many leading dental organizations now recognize today's dental implants as the standard of care for tooth replacement.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are little more than titanium alloy posts that are placed into the jawbone. They act as an anchor for a natural-looking tooth or set of teeth. Titanium alloy is used in knee and hip replacement procedures. It is strong, lightweight and has been proven safe.
Why Dental Implants?
Because they:
- Look and feel just like your real teeth
- Decrease bone loss and gum recession associated with tooth loss
- Restore proper chewing, allowing for a better diet and improved health
- Eliminate the need to grind down healthy teeth for conventional bridgework
- Improve speech
- Increase comfort
- Help promote long-term facial integrity and delay the appearance of premature aging
