What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants have many benefits over other methods of tooth replacement. Unlike previous, conventional methods such as bridges or crowns, dental implants provide a permanent root for the tooth that is fused to the jawbone. This means that the tooth, once in place on the implanted "root" will be strong and stable, without any of the shifting or movement that happened with bridges. The replacement tooth is also built to look and feel like your natural tooth so that it will easily blend in with the rest of your teeth for a natural looking smile.
Dental implants will look and feel like real teeth and require the same care and hygiene requirements as your natural teeth with regular brushing, flossing and dental checkups. When dental implants are properly taken care of, they can last several years and even potentially for the rest of your life. Dental implants can be used to replace single teeth or an entire mouthful of teeth, depending on the individual needs of the patient.
