When patients are looking for a dentist for dental implants, they have many questions and there is a lot of information to be found.  In this article, we will share information that is not common knowledge about dental implants.

Full restoration of the missing teeth

With dental implants, dentists offer full restoration of the missing teeth because they cover both the crown and the root of the teeth. Titanium posts are placed into the jaw to fix the artificial tooth like a natural tooth root. Dental implants are a permanent restoration option to have for dentures and bridges with similar components of the natural tooth.

No changes to neighbouring teeth

One of the most important advantages of dental implants is that is not necessary to change to neighbouring teeth. For example, when making the dental bridges, adjacent teeth need to be modified to support them. Contrarily, it is not necessary to change healthy neighbouring teeth for dental implants.

There are health benefits to dental implants

Dental implants help healthy bone formation in the jaws and it supports the blood flow to the gums. They are long-lasting and they help fight deterioration in the bone tissue caused by missing teeth. Also, maintaining your dental implants is the same as your natural teeth: brush two times a day, floss daily and maintain regular dental appointments. In other words, because the implants require the same day care as the natural teeth, they can encourage better oral hygiene efforts.

Dental implants are affordable and permanent

People generally think that dental implants are not affordable. Although they look expensive in the first phase, they are very affordable when considered in the long run. Dental implants can last a lifetime, if cared properly, while other similar restorations need to be replaced over time. When considering the short and long-term costs associated with both options, dental implants are a very economical alternative.
