Posted on July 4, 2009 1:15PM in Dental Implant, Missing Teeth, Tooth Implant, Tooth Replacement
Whether you have several missing teeth or only one, assessing tooth replacement options can be overwhelming. For many, dental implants are an ideal solution.
Dental implants have many benefits including:
- Permanent placement – no need for adjustment or daily removal
- Durability – implants are built to last a lifetime
- Free standing – no risk of damage to surrounding teeth
- Secure placement – means better biting and chewing power
Implants can also lessen the chance of bone loss and receding gums. They can be used to replace one or more missing teeth and can be used as a support for existing dentures or bridges.
Selecting an Implant Dentist:
When considering dental implants, you should feel comfortable having a candid dialogue about implants and the future of your oral health. Here are some questions you can ask:
- What is your experience working with dental implants?
- Why should I consider dental implants over other tooth replacement options?
- What is the timeframe I can expect the implant to be placed and healed?
- How will this implant affect the rest of my teeth and bite?
- Do you offer financing for dental implants?
Recent technological advances have made dental implants a good solution for many people. They create a sturdy foundation for a replacement tooth and are able to be matched to the color of your existing teeth. Dental implants can improve your smile, oral health and your self-confidence.
