The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are little posts that are typically made of titanium that function as a screw in your jaw. The reason for the screw-like structure is so the dental implant can act as the root of your missing tooth. After a dental implant is in place, a dental crown is put over the implant to serve as a new tooth. Dental implants and crowns are an alternative to getting dentures. Here are some benefits of getting dental implants:

Function like natural teeth - Something that makes dental implants much better than dentures is the fact that dental implants can function like real teeth. You don’t have to worry about dental implants falling out or someone seeing you without them because they are permanently in your mouth. 

Not a temporary fix - It’s never ideal to invest in a dental procedure that only temporarily relieves pain or fixes an issue, which is why dental implants are so popular. Dental implants can last for years, and some people don’t ever need to get new ones. 

Prevent bone loss in your jaw - When you have a missing tooth and don’t get a dental implant to replace it, you will lose bone in your jaw. This happens because when we chew or bit things with our teeth we strengthen the bone in our jaw, but when there are no teeth in certain spots of your mouth that part of your jaw gets no stimulation. Having no stimulation results in the bone in your jaw disintegrating in that part of your mouth.
