Are you unhappy with your smile or looking to get rid of your dentures? Are you ready for a sustainable solution to missing teeth? After speaking with your dentist, you may decide to get dental implants.

Dental implants are natural-looking artificial roots and teeth that are surgically embedded into the jaw. Implants are an excellent option when you are looking for a more permanent solution to missing teeth or using dentures, and can also even be used to reduce joint pain or restore your confident smile. Dental implants are a stable and strong choice when you are looking for a long-lasting solution.

Unlike dentures or other daily-wear options, you need to brush and floss dental implants regularly just like you would with natural teeth to avoid gum disease and other problems which could result in an implantation failure. Dental implants will last for years when properly cared for, but still may require occasional re-tightening due to normal wear.

If you keep a proper dental hygiene regimen and maintain check-ups with your dentist, your dental implants can last a lifetime, unlike crowns which don’t tend to last beyond 15 years. Although implants in the back of the mouth, which receive more wear, do tend to need replacement more often than those near the front.

Dental implants have become the norm in tooth-replacement. More reliable than dentures and dental bridges, dental implants provide excellent support and don’t decay. Plus, you will be able to chew without slipping and won’t feel pressure on your teeth!

Due to the advancement of dental implants, failures and rejections are rare and most problems occur due to preexisting medical conditions.
