Dental implants fill the gaps in your smile, but that's not all they do. This innovative restoration method, offered by your New Port Richey and Trinity, FL, dentist Dr. James Lewis, provides a few other benefits.
What benefits do dental implants offer?
Implants offer these smile-boosting advantages:
- Complete Restoration: Thanks to dental implants, it's now possible to replace your entire missing tooth. Implants are small posts made of titanium, a metal that has unique bone-bonding properties. Dental implants serve as artificial roots and are topped with dental crowns once they've bonded fully to your jawbone.
- Comfort: Poorly fitting dentures can sometimes move when you bite into hard foods, causing painful gum irritation. Because your new crowns are securely attached to your dental implants, slipping and sliding won't be a problem. In fact, your new teeth will feel just like your natural teeth.
- Better Biting Power: Without replacement roots to anchor restorations, it's difficult or impossible to bite and tear hard foods with your teeth. Dental implants solve that problem by providing a stable foundation for your crowns, which gives you the ability to enjoy your favorite foods.
- Improved Appearance: Dental implants fill the gaps in your smile and prevent your other teeth from shifting, a common problem after the loss of a tooth.
- No Jaw Problems: In addition to anchoring your teeth, your roots also provide constant stimulation to the underlying jawbone. Without that stimulation, the bone may begin to shrink and weaken. As your jawbone withers away, you may notice that your facial muscles begin to sag, your bite changes and some of your teeth start to loosen. Dental implants help you avoid these problems by providing the same stimulation as your roots.
- Versatility: There are no limits when it comes to dental implants. They're an excellent restoration option no matter how many teeth you would like to replace. Although a 1:1 implant/crown ratio is required to replace a single tooth, you only need a few implants to secure an implant-supported denture or bridge. Dentures can be attached with as few as four implants per arch in some cases.
