What are Dental implants? To put it simply, implants are the roots of missing teeth and act as the anchor for a replacement tooth, crown or a set of replacement teeth. Dr. Matthew Mangino, Paducah Dental Care, explains the many benefits of choosing dental implants.
Next best thing to a tooth
Dental implants replace a lost tooth securely to create what looks and operates like a natural tooth. If you choose an option other than a dental implant, the way you eat, smile, speak and live day-to-day can be different and challenging.
Long-term solution
If installed and cared for properly, dental implants can last a lifetime! In comparison, dental bridges may need to be replaced eventually.
No need to worry about how you look
You will not have to worry about a different smile or missing teeth. A face missing teeth can look sagged and sad, but with dental implants, your appearance stays the same. Plus, no need to be concerned about needing to take out your denture or them falling out. Live life as usual with dental implants!
Dentures don’t compare
Think dental implants are similar to dentures? Think again! With dentures, you have to worry about pronouncing words correctly, what you eat, if they will slip out of your mouth, and removing them on a daily basis. And don’t forget about the cleaning. Dental implants function like natural teeth and fixed in place. You won’t have to worry about your teeth moving, falling out, or being able to speak normally.
Eat like normal
Don’t worry about having to remove your teeth before eating your favorite foods. You can eat naturally and comfortably with no difference in taste with dental implants.
No cavities
That’s right! No cavities with dental implants or implant-restored crowns. It’s still important to visit your dentist regularly for professional cleaning and care just like natural teeth.
Protect your natural and healthy teeth
Unlike a tooth-supported bridge that damages natural teeth when placed in the mouth, dental implants protect your teeth. Dental implants are placed into the jawbone where of the root of the missing tooth is located. Your natural teeth are not harmed. In fact, they prevent healthy teeth from shifting as they would if the empty gap remained for a long time.
More predictable than other tooth repair and restoration
Dental implants have a track record of being reliable, long-term and more successful than other tooth repair and restorative methods. Other methods include bridgework, removable appliances and re-treatment of a failing root canal (endodontic) therapy.
