Dental implants are a great option for anyone who has lost a tooth, wants to replace several teeth, or is looking for a more secure alternative to dentures. Here, we cover the top 7 benefits of dental implants and how they can help restore your smile at PS Dental Studio.
1. Dental Implants Look Natural
Because dental implants are made to match your natural teeth, they look exactly like a normal tooth. These crowns, crafted by Dr. Priya Sridhar and our dental team from high-quality materials to match your natural teeth, act and look like normal teeth, making them a great choice for replacing missing teeth. Our CEREC crown and bridge technology allows us to create natural-looking restorations with precision and efficiency.
2. Dental Implants Feel Natural
Since dental implants attach directly to your jaw, they feel similar to your natural teeth. Whether you get a single dental crown or your implant attaches to another oral fixture, dental implants act similarly to your tooth’s root system, making them incredibly close to your natural teeth. This natural feel is enhanced by our biomimetic dentistry approach, which focuses on preserving and mimicking natural tooth function.
3. They’re More Secure than Dentures
Dentures rest on top of your gums, and while you can secure them using denture paste, they are never as secure as your real teeth. Because dental implants attach within your jawbone and have bone grow around them through osseointegration, they’re more secure than dentures and allow you to eat whatever you’d like without worry. For patients considering alternatives, we also offer fixed vs removable teeth options to help you choose the best solution.
4. Dental Implants Can Replace a Single Tooth
Dental implants work by attaching directly to your jawbone. Since they anchor in one location, they’re a great option to replace a single missing tooth. While bridges can replace a tooth spaced between other teeth, a dental implant can be a great replacement choice if your teeth are not strong enough to support a dental bridge or you have no teeth near the missing tooth. If insufficient bone is present, dental bone grafting may be recommended to ensure successful implant placement.
5. They Can Replace Several Teeth
Speaking of dental bridges, dental implants can act as anchors for dental bridges. This means a single dental implant can act as a replacement for several missing teeth in sequence. This is a good choice if you have a section of missing teeth but no anchor to attach a bridge. Because bridges attach to implants or an existing tooth, they’re more secure than partial dentures. For extensive tooth loss, PS Dental Studio offers full mouth dental implants and zirconia fixed bridges for optimal strength and aesthetics.
6. Dental Implants Are Cavity-Proof
Unlike natural enamel, dental implants are made of biocompatible materials like titanium, meaning they aren’t susceptible to cavities like natural teeth. While you still need to clean and care for your dental implants like your natural teeth through proper general dentistry maintenance, you won’t have to worry about fillings or cavities the same way you would with natural teeth. However, good oral hygiene is still essential to prevent gum disease around implants.
7. Dental Implants Help Preserve Your Jawline
Dental extractions can cause your jawline to wear away and atrophy over time. Without teeth for support, your jawline can shrink back, adding to an older appearance. Dental implants support your jaw, helping maintain your natural jawline and providing a youthful appearance. With dental implants, you don’t need to worry about jawline atrophy. This preservation of facial structure is one reason why implants are often recommended as part of a smile makeover or full mouth reconstruction.
