Top Six Functional and Cosmetic Benefits of Dental Implants
Although natural teeth are created to last several years, they can be lost to accidents, decay, disease, and other issues. Losing your teeth can affect your confidence and oral health. Untreated gaps in your mouth can also cause bone loss, bite misalignment, and confidence loss.
Tooth loss should be treated immediately to avoid the immediate and long-term consequences of missing teeth. Dental implants in Seattle, Washington, offer an excellent option for replacing missing teeth. Anchored firmly in the jawbone, dental implants look, function, and feel like natural teeth. Whether you have lost one or more teeth, visit A Dental & Denture today to enjoy your beautiful, complete smile.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants are designed to suit any smile. Whether you have lost one, multiple, or all teeth in your mouth, we can restore your smile with dental implants. When expertly placed by trained dentists, dental implants offer numerous life-changing benefits.
Some include:
- Lifetime durability: A dental implant is a “tissue-friendly” titanium post surgically placed in the jawbone. The implant acts as a prosthetic root. Over time, it fuses with the jawbone to form a lifetime bond. Dental implants yield lifelong benefits for anyone looking for a permanent tooth replacement.
- Improved jawbone health: Your jawbone maintains its height and width as it regenerates through stimulation from everyday chewing and grinding. However, when you lose your teeth, your jawbone shrinks, affecting your oral health and aesthetics. Dental implants replace your tooth alongside its root to halt bone atrophy.
- Enhanced functionality: The titanium fixture anchors your replacement teeth firmly in place. Unlike dentures or bridges, don’t expect your teeth to move or fall out when eating or smiling. This stability ensures you can enjoy all your favorite foods and conversations without awkward moments.
- Natural-looking outcomes: Our dental implants are restored with prosthetic teeth that are designed to mimic the aesthetics of your natural teeth. Once you replace your missing teeth with implants, you don’t have to worry about an unnatural appearance. The tooth-like materials ensure your smile looks as good as it feels!
- Time-tested technology: Doctors have used dental implants to restore smiles since the 1960s. Thanks to ever-evolving technology, the treatment has transformed millions of smiles predictably over the years. Combined with our in-house capabilities, expect nothing short of life-changing benefits.
- Simple maintenance: Just because you have new teeth doesn’t mean you alter your oral hygiene. Dental implants are maintained like natural teeth—you don’t need special skills or cleaning products. Ensure you brush and floss your teeth diligently and adhere to regular check-ups and cleanings to keep your implants healthy and issue-free.
We believe all patients should take advantage of our life-changing dental implants. While we accept insurance from many providers, we understand that not everyone has coverage. That’s why we’ve partnered with trusted third-party financing companies to ensure cost isn’t a barrier to your healthy smile. This way, you can manage your treatment with flexible monthly installments.
