If you’re considering dental implants for your smile restoration, you’re making a smart choice. As a tooth prosthetic, dental implants provide a unique set of benefits over other smile restorative options. While bridges, partial and full dentures are all reliable options for smile restoration, dental implants deliver a real look, feel and longevity unlike no other.
When weighing the advantages of dental implants over other dental reconstructive options, consider the following:
- If you are an adult, your age alone won’t restrict you from dental implants. From teens to seniors, dental implants have been successfully used to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
- They can be used in both your top and bottom jaw, at multiple sites and can even be used to restore your entire smile.
- Other healthy teeth do not need to be modified or disturbed for your implant placement. There’s no need for wires, external framework, adhesives or support that affect neighboring tooth.
- Dental implants look and feel natural. They will not affect your speech, eating and appearance.
- With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime and do not require replacement or adjustment.
- Dental implants require no additional maintenance beyond brushing, flossing and regular periodontal care.
- Because of their placement that’s similar to the natural root of the tooth, dental implants reduce bone loss and prevent atrophy of the jawbone.
While these advantages sound ideal for just about anyone in need of a replacement tooth, the very best way to determine if dental implants will be the most successful option for your smile restoration is to arrange a free dental implant consultation with us at Radiance Dental in Vancouver, WA.
