Dental implants are one of the most common procedures that dentists all over the world carry out, and with good reason. It is an incredibly effective and useful procedure for lost or missing teeth, which is itself one of the major issues that people have with their oral health. If you are keen to learn more about dental implants, and understand why you might want to choose them as a way forwards, then read on. Here are some of the major reasons that you might want to go down this route in order to improve your smile.

 

What Are Dental Implants?

So what exactly are dental implants, anyway? A dental implant is simply a replacement for a missing tooth. The cause of your tooth loss can vary greatly. It might be gum disease – this is the leading cause of tooth loss amongst adults – or it could simply be as a result of an accident where you lost or broke a tooth. Whatever the cause, an implant can help by replacing the tooth with an artificial replacement, and this is a technique that has been perfected over the years to the point that it is now very advanced in its technology.\

 

Why Choose Dental Implants?

So why should you consider choosing dental implants? There are a few main reasons to consider, including the following.

Long-Lasting Solution

With implants, you really do have a long-lasting, even permanent, solution. This means that you won’t have to worry about replacements again in the future, or if so then not for a very long time indeed. As long as you care for your dental implants as well as possible, they will last as long as natural teeth. That can give you a great peace of mind that you might not otherwise have.

Prevent Bone Loss

Bone loss is one of the most concerning things that can happen for you orally. When you start to lose the bone under the gums, it means the teeth get looser – until eventually they all start falling out, and then you have to have false teeth put in. But having implants put in means that you can prevent this bone loss from occurring, saving the ability to have your other natural teeth in the process. Dental implants stimulate the jaw, helping you to retain a picture of youth in the face.

Discreet

Dental implants are also subtle, and if you don’t tell anyone you have it, they simply will never know. This is very good news for anyone who has confidence issues relating to their teeth, which is true of many people who have had tooth loss. With implants, you won’t have to worry that people know you have had this work done.

Eat Whatever You Like

You can still enjoy all of your favorite foods with an implant, so you don’t have to worry about that either.
