Why Choose Dental Implants?

Tooth loss robs you not only of a bright, healthy smile, but also of your self-confidence. You may think that you are only person in your community to suffer from such a problem. Yet as any general dentist in Canton, MI will tell you, that is far from the truth. The fact is that millions of other Americans suffer from the same issue. Thus, not only should you take comfort from the fact of knowing that you are not alone, but also that there an abundance of treatment options available to help you.

You Have Options Beyond Traditional Dentures

Most still assume that the best way to replace missing teeth is with dentures. Yet you might be surprised by the many other options your general dentist in Canton, MI can make available to you. In many cases, these alternatives offer even more benefits than traditional dentures, and require much less maintenance. Chief among these are dental implants. Rather than providing a temporary solution to tooth loss, they offer permanent results that you can depend on.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Just what benefits do dental implants for missing teeth offer over dentures? Here are just a few:

  • Reliability: Dental implants remain affixed to your jaw bone just like regular teeth. This means that you can enjoy activities such as talking or eating without the concern of having your dentures slip out of place.
  • Durability: Even the most well-constructed dentures will have to be replaced after 7-10 years. On the other hand, if you provide them with the proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
  • Rejuvenation: If you are missing teeth, your jawbone may begin to deteriorate due to it having nothing to support. The titanium screws used in dental implants actually fuse to the bone, stimulating the growth of new, healthy bone and helping your face retain its natural shape.

Dental science has made significant strides in recent years; why not put that progress to work for you? Dr. Bazzi is well adept at placing dental implants for missing teeth, and he and the rest of our staff here at Contemporary Dentistry want to do all that we can to get you back to sharing your smile with the world.
