Missing just one tooth can make daily tasks, like chewing, speaking, and smiling, much more difficult. Fortunately, dental implants<\/a> are available to help you achieve a complete smile again! Dentists and patients agree that they are the best tooth replacement option out there. With a success rate of over 95%, patients can enjoy them for many decades, but what makes their success rate so high? Continue reading to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Keeps Your Jawbone Strong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you lose natural teeth, your jawbone is no longer being stimulated by routine chewing, so it will start to deteriorate and shrink over time. This can lead to a wide range of issues, including adding many years to your appearance thanks to sunken cheeks and wrinkled lips. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option out there that restores the roots of the missing teeth, therefore stimulating the jawbone and keeping it strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Implants Fuse to the Jawbone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After your dental implants are placed, they fuse to the jawbone in a process called, \u201cosseointegration.\u201d This process secures the implant and ultimately makes it a part of your body. This is why it is so important to give the implant time to heal properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeps Your Surrounding Teeth in Place<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have a gap in your smile due to a missing tooth, your surrounding teeth will naturally want to shift around to fill in the space. Your teeth will move around and can even loosen, leading to additional tooth loss. When you replace your missing tooth with an implant, you are preventing misalignment that will otherwise need to be corrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing an Experienced Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you choose a dentist with a lot of experience placing dental implants, this improves your likelihood of success. Dental implants need to be placed precisely in the jawbone where there is enough bone tissue to act as a solid foundation for them. This requires careful planning and extensive knowledge so the procedure can be a success. Look into your dentist\u2019s years of experience and the additional training they have completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many benefits, like their high success rate, it is no wonder why so many people choose dental implants.  You will have your smile back in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
