Five Benefits of Dental Implants

January 28, 2017

Tooth damage and tooth loss can happen for a variety of reasons including poor hygiene, facial trauma, and gum disease. Fortunately, expert periodontists like Dr. Steven Rice have many cutting edge techniques to restore a beautiful and functional smile. Depending on the state of your teeth and gums, dental implants may be extremely effective for a natural appearance and comfortable feel.

1. A Long-Term Solution

Dental implants provide a permanent solution to missing teeth. Because implants are surgically attached to the jawbone, they rarely need adjustment or replacement, so you can enjoy the convenience of a long-term solution.

2. Beautiful and Natural Appearance

Modern dental implants are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth, so you can feel confident in your smile. They also function just like real teeth so you can eat and talk comfortably.

3. Bone Loss Prevention

One of the potential consequences of gum disease is bone loss within the mouth. Because implants are surgically placed in the jawbone, they stimulate the growth and prevent further bone loss.

4. Protects Adjacent Teeth

Dentures and bridges sit on top of the gums and rely on adjacent teeth for support whereas implants are completely supported by the jawbone. This prevents misalignment or damage to adjacent teeth and promotes overall oral health.

5. Efficient and Effective
