Why Dental Implants Are the Best Solution for Your Compromised Tooth

April 23, 2018

An image of a dental implant.A failing tooth causes not only discomfort, but also embarrassment in some cases about the appearance of your tooth or smile. It takes a toll on your nutrition because you can’t properly chew the foods you’re used to, and it impacts your confidence when you feel self-conscious about smiling or talking to other people. Modern dentistry offers excellent solutions for failing or missing teeth, and dental implants in Midland are the best. Here’s why.

Dental Implants Feel and Look Natural

A dental implant replaces both your root and your tooth, so it functions just like a natural tooth. This means you’ll be eating and smiling with confidence again in no time. The crown of your implant is designed and shaded to match your remaining teeth and blend with your smile seamlessly so no one will ever know you have an implant.

Dental Implants Protect Your Oral Health

When you lose a tooth it definitely affects your confidence; however, did you know that it also affects your oral health? When your jawbone doesn’t have a root to support, it will begin to deteriorate. This causes many issues such as lack of support for your healthy teeth and changes to the appearance of your face.

Meanwhile, your healthy teeth begin to shift without a replacement tooth, and this causes bite misalignment issues. It can also increase your risk of developing conditions such as gum disease and cavities.

Dental Implants are Cost Effective

When you are looking at tooth replacement options, your dentist may discuss a dental bridge or partial with you depending on your needs. These options will eventually need to be replaced in the future due to normal wear.

Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime with great home care and regular dental checkups. This makes them a more cost effective long-term solution.

Dental Implants can Replace Multiple Missing Teeth

Strategically placed dental implants are capable of supporting dental prosthetics such as a bridge, partial, or denture. This means that implants can be used to replace multiple missing teeth. They also provide the added benefit of a more secure fit and stability for those who wear dentures.

Are Implants Right for Me?

Your dentist can determine if an implant will meet your needs during a thorough examination. It’s important that you have enough healthy bone structure to support the implant, so your dentist will take x-rays to check your jawbone.
