The loss of self-esteem\nand shame in your own appearance can have you avoiding friends and family and\nstruggling to leave your house. In the past, a full or partial denture or a fixed\nbridge was the only way to repair and rebuild a smile, but now, thanks to\nadvancements in dentistry, dental implants have become one of the most superior\nand revolutionary forms of tooth replacement. Hear from an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zumbrofamilydental.com\/dental-implants.html\">implant dentist<\/a>\nwho shares what makes these restorations so beneficial to patients with missing\nteeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients who are experiencing tooth loss can find hope once\nagain thanks to dental implants. These small titanium posts mimic the look and\nfeel of a natural tooth. Surgically placed into your jawbone, the \u201croots\u201d stimulate\nthe bone, keeping it healthy, strong, and capable of holding up the custom restoration\nthat will live on top of the implant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are designed to offer permanency, greater\nstability, and full functionality, and they are made to last longer than any\nother restoration available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Their Benefits?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When attempting to decern which tooth replacement solution\nyou want to move forward with, it\u2019s likely that you\u2019re weighing the pros and\ncons of all your options. Yes, dental implants are move expensive than a bridge\nor dentures, but their benefits far outweigh traditional prosthetics. Some of\nthese benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Longevity: <\/strong>Unlike a bridge or set of\ndentures that last maybe a decade or longer, dental implants are made so that\nyou can enjoy your new smile for 30+ years or even a lifetime! <\/li><li><strong>Maintenance: <\/strong>With dental implants, you don\u2019t\nneed any special tools. A toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash are all\nyou need to keep your implants clean, as well as maintaining your six-month\nvisits to your dentist\u2019s office. <\/li><li><strong>Stability: <\/strong>Since they are placed into\nyour jawbone, you will spend several months healing at home and allowing a\nprocess known as osseointegration to occur. This is when the implant fuses to\nthe bone and surrounding tissue, creating a stable and solid foundation for\nyour smile. <\/li><li><strong>Oral Health: <\/strong>A traditional bridge or\ndenture only sits on top of your gums, replicating the look of your smile. As a\nresult, your jawbone can deteriorate over time. When having dental implants\nplaced, the root of the tooth is essentially put back into the socket and\ncontinues to stimulate the jawbone, keeping it from weakening over time. <\/li><li><strong>Natural Look and Feel: <\/strong>The custom dental\nrestoration that lives on top of your implant will be matched to your natural\ntooth color, size, and shape, allowing it to blend in and create a seamless,\nbeautiful smile. <\/li><li><strong>Functionality:<\/strong> You don\u2019t have to worry\nabout missing out on your favorite foods with dental implants. Because they act\njust like a regular tooth, you can eat, speak, and chew with complete\nconfidence. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let missing teeth keep you hiding at home anymore. Talk\nto your dentist about whether you are a candidate for dental implants and start\nliving the life you want today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br>Dr. Nicholas Brong completed his undergraduate studies at the University of St. Thomas before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of California at San Francisco.
