Can I Benefit from Dental Implants?

Dental implants provide a more natural tooth replacement than dentures because they’re artificial teeth that are attached directly to the jawbone. To benefit from dental implants, you must be in good health (aside from missing teeth) and have a fully developed and healthy jawbone - healthy gums and a healthy jawbone are needed to support the implants.

If you’re healthy and your dentist determines that you’re a good candidate for implants, he or she will schedule the procedure to take place either at the dentist’s office under local anesthesia, depending on the patient’s particular dental health needs and the amount of surgery that is required.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

Dental implants help maintain the integrity of your jawbone so that it does not lose density over time. Because your jawbone supports your face and surrounding structures, a healthy, sturdy jawbone reduces premature sagging and wrinkling.

Replacing your tooth or teeth permanently means more comfortable eating. Better nutrition and greater confidence in your chewing will improve your quality of life.

Implants do not rely on surrounding teeth. There is no worry of compromising the appearance or structure of neighboring teeth. The finished product is a natural, restored smile.

Implants last much longer than dental bridges and dentures, making them a sound investment for a long-lasting smile.
