Implants are the next best thing to healthy, natural teeth
What are the benefits of dental implants over other treatments?
Fits and functions like a natural tooth
Strong and stable, a dental implant restores a lost tooth so that it looks, feels, fits and functions like a natural tooth. Other options can lead to bone deterioration, and may interfere with eating, smiling, speaking and other activities of everyday life.
Built to last
Dental implants are a long-term solution. Traditionally, a dental bridge was used to replace a missing tooth and this could last between 5-10 years depending on dental hygiene. While dental implants may need periodic adjustments, they can last a lifetime when properly placed and cared for over time.
Protect healthy bone
Leaving empty spaces in your mouth after losing one or more teeth can lead to additional health issues. When it is not being used to support a natural tooth, the jawbone resorption, losing its strength and firmness. Dental implants are the only dental restoration option that preserves and stimulates natural bone.
Eat your favorite foods
Taste and enjoy the foods you love without hesitation. You can bite naturally, eat virtually anything you want and, unlike removable dentures that can feel uncomfortable, you can experience the full taste of the food you eat with dental implants, too.
Speak easy
Adjusting to removable dentures can mean struggling to pronounce everyday words. Not so with dental implants, which function like natural teeth.
Retain your natural face shape, and smile
A face without teeth can sag and appear sunken and sad. Dental implants allow you to maintain the natural shape of your face and smile.
