Advantages of Cosmetic Dental Implants
If you’re thinking of replacing one or more missing teeth with dental prosthetics, you may be wondering why you would choose a cosmetic dental implant over a bridge or traditional denture.
There are several reasons why many dental professionals recommend dental implants. Because dentures and bridges do not replace your teeth root, the bone surrounding your disused roots will deteriorate.
Gum and bone recede around the denture, creating noticeable collapsed sections in your smile. Removable dentures move around in your mouth, making chewing and talking difficult and embarrassing. In order to install a dental bridge, your dental surgeon must grind down the surrounding teeth.
Often, the cement holding a bridge in place washes away, and bacteria decay the teeth holding the bridge. Cosmetic dental implants, on the other hand, look and function just like normal teeth.
The implant tooth or denture is anchored in your mouth – you cannot remove it like a standard denture.
Your dental implant will never shift in your mouth because the implant bonds with your jawbone, there’s no need to grind down other teeth to support it.
The titanium thread of the dental implant replaces your tooth root, strengthening your jawbone and preserving it from deterioration. A dental implant contains no cement or glue, and it won’t allow the gum to recede.
With proper oral hygiene, your cosmetic dental implant lasts a lifetime. Implants offer considerable benefits over traditional dental bridges and removable dentures.
If you’re looking for a durable, comfortable and healthy option for replacing missing teeth, talk to your dentist about cosmetic dental implants.
