If you have missing teeth, you probably don’t like how your smile looks, and you may avoid being in pictures. Even worse, you might not want to engage in social activities, which can negatively affect your self-esteem. Fortunately, today’s dentistry offers several options for replacing your missing teeth. Dental implants are one such option; here’s why you should consider dental implants over other tooth replacement options.
What Is a Dental Implant?
The dental implant procedure involves placing a titanium screw into your jawbone. This screw acts as your tooth’s new root and will anchor your replacement tooth. Once it has healed and integrated with your jawbone, the next step is to add an abutment to connect your dental implant to your new prosthetic tooth.
Dental implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or an entire arch. If you need a full arch replaced, our all-on-x or T24 (Teeth in 24 Hours) treatment concept allows us to place implants and a temporary denture in one day.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are considered to be the gold standard in tooth replacement for a number of reasons, including the following:
Success
Dental implants have an extremely high success rate.
Longevity
Dental implants can potentially last a lifetime.
Function
Dental implants allow you to bite down and chew your favourite foods.
Aesthetics
Dental implants look like your natural teeth.
Decreased Shifting
Dental implants can fill the gaps in your smile and keep your other teeth from shifting.
Bone Loss Prevention
Dental implants act as your tooth’s root, preventing bone density from decreasing.
