Are you an ideal candidate for dental implants?
You’ve been doing your research about tooth loss options and you’ve decided to talk with our Hawthorne, NJ, dentist Dr. Margaret Somers about dental implants. Perhaps they sound like the best way to replace your missing teeth. If so, you’ve definitely come to the right place; however, before you schedule a consultation with us, here’s what you should know about the benefits of getting dental implants.
Dental implants last decades: While other tooth replacement options will need to be adjusted regularly and replaced every few years, a dental implant is strong enough to last decades. Once the implant fuses with the jawbone it should never need to be replaced. If you continue to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your lifetime, there’s no reason why your implant won’t last, as well.
They function like real teeth: Who doesn’t want a restoration that feels less like an artificial tooth and more like the real thing? You’ll be happy to hear that dental implants are truly the next best thing to maintaining your real teeth. They function just like a real tooth and even look identical. You won’t be able to tell or feel the difference between your implant and your natural teeth, and no one will be able to tell the difference either.
Prevent bone loss: One of the most important reasons to turn to our Hawthorne, NJ, family dentist after tooth loss is to prevent jawbone loss. Fortunately, dental implants are placed into the jawbone where they take the place of missing tooth roots, providing the jawbone with the continued stimulation it needs to promote the development of new bone cells for a strong, healthy jaw.
Make chewing and speaking easier: Anyone with missing teeth knows the challenges of talking or chewing. If these are everyday habits that you once took for granted, know that dental implants can fully restore both. That’s because implants stay firmly in place, fused with the jawbone and tissue so that you can speak confidently and enjoy all of your favorite foods without worrying.
