Why? Apart from their ability to mimic the natural tooth structure and improve a person\u2019s oral health, they offer far more benefits than other, more traditional solutions. While there is a difference in the way they\u2019re placed, their lifespan, and overall cost in comparison to a fixed bridge or regular dentures, hear from a local dentist who explains why they\u2019re gaining in popularity and why you might opt for dental implants to restore your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preventing Bone Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A missing tooth can do more than cause you to feel embarrassed by your smile. It can also lead to bone resorption and additional tooth loss if left untreated. Over time, when the jawbone is no longer stimulated by a tooth root, it can begin to weaken and deteriorate. By placing a dental implant into the vacated socket, the post mimics the natural tooth root and continues to stimulate the bone, keeping it strong and stable, preventing many of the harmful effects of tooth loss from occurring (i.e. changes in facial shape, shifting teeth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved Daily Oral Functionality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are living with one or more missing teeth, you will notice increased difficulty when it comes to eating, speaking, or chewing. To remedy this, your dentist can fill these areas with dental implants and help you regain full functionality. No longer will you face problems eating or speaking. Instead, you will have an even bite force and the confidence to resume normal daily activities without worry or shame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Longer-Lasting Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike fixed bridges or traditional full or partial dentures, dental implants are designed to last decades or more. These alternative methods of treatment often require frequent readjustments and replacements, however, with proper care and maintenance, the actual titanium post can last a lifetime. The customized restoration will likely need replacing over time, but your artificial tooth root can remain in place and untouched for much longer than other tooth replacement solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural in Appearance and Feeling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are made in such a way that you will begin to feel as if your natural tooth is sitting among the rest of your smile. The placement process, materials used, and design of your custom restoration will provide you with a restoration that not only looks but also feels completely natural. Lab technicians will use the highest-quality materials to create your dental crown, implant bridge, or implant-retained denture, ensuring it matches your natural tooth color, size, and shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to see why dental implants are becoming such a popular solution for individuals with missing teeth. While the upfront cost may be more expensive, the long-term benefits make them a more cost-effective and reliable alternative to achieving a healthier, more beautiful smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br>Dr. Zachary Brice completed his dental degree at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Dental School.
