Unlike other tooth replacement options such as dentures or a bridge, dental implants replace both the roots and crowns of missing teeth. The others only replace the crown or visible portion of teeth.
By replacing the root as well, a dental implant provides a number of benefits. First, you’ll never have to worry about a prosthesis that shifts or clicks when you eat or speak. A dental implant is firmly set in your jawbone, so there is no chance of movement. The titanium post & surrounding bone tissue fuse together to form a firmly set anchor.
Secondly, the post stimulates the bone just as your tooth root once did. This stimulation is important to maintaining the shape and strength of your jawbone. Other tooth replacements that rest on top of your gums may fill out your cheeks, but they do not encourage healthy bone tissue regeneration the way dental implants do.
When you have dental implants placed, you’ll get more than just a new set of teeth. You can look forward to regaining the life you once had, but you stand to acquire even more. Here are some of the specific advantages that separate dental implant insertion from any other form of tooth replacement:
