Dental bridges, partials, and dentures have been used for generations to treat tooth loss, but 500,000 people every year are choosing a revolutionary procedure to rebuild their smiles. Dental implants are the most reliable method to treat lost teeth because they are unlike any other treatment to date. Here are just a few reasons dental implants are the pinnacle of success when replacing missing teeth.
Replace the Entire Tooth Structure
Traditional tooth replacement methods only replicate the portions above the gun line. A dental implant replaces both the root and the crown. This creates a nearly perfect replica of a natural tooth to provide exceptional benefits not possible using other methods, like bone preservation.
A dental implant can stop your jawbone from deteriorating from tooth loss, which isn’t possible using any other prosthetic. You will maintain your facial shape for a youthful appearance, but you will also avoid many common issues caused by lost teeth to lower your overall oral health expenses.
Biocompatible Materials
Titanium revolutionized dental implants because it’s biocompatible and integrates well with bone, which is used for implant posts. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a new root. It will support your custom-made restoration that’s attached using an abutment.
High Success Rate
Thanks to the latest technologies, techniques, and materials, dental implants provide predictable results. They have over a 95% success rate and are proven to last for decades with the correct care, like brushing and flossing.
Unmatched Biting Force
Your jawbone will fuse to the implant through a process called osseointegration. This allows you to regain up to 70% of your natural biting force. You’ll never have to worry about any slipping or irritation.
Long-Lasting Results
Dental implants are proven to last for 30 years or longer with the right aftercare, like brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly. Your new smile can last for a lifetime, so you’ll never need to budget for replacements.
Advanced Technology
Advancements in technology have enhanced the success rate of dental implants. Your implant dentist will use a CT scan for diagnostic and treatment planning to place your posts with pinpoint accuracy to reduce any room for error.
If you’re ready to treat your missing teeth, don’t settle for less than the best. Invest in the most successful method of replacing lost teeth. You enjoy results that look and feel natural.
