Restore Your Smile With Dental Implants

Research studies have shown at least 180 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. That is a significant number of people with a possible untreated gap or space in their smile. Luckily, for them dental technology has advancements to fill that gap in a very natural way for a lifetime of smiles.

Dental implants are the #1 choice for patients and dentists looking to replace a lost tooth or teeth in their smile. The dental implants technology has been around for decades and is safe, effective, and a proven success. A dental implant is artificial tooth root made of titanium and specially coated to intimately bind and connect with the surrounding bone. On top of that custom porcelain crowns will be fabricated to complete the procedure to replace missing teeth.

The end result is a natural looking completion to your smile. Dental implants have a number of health benefits beyond just replacing a gap in your smile. Below are just a few of those benefits that can improve your overall health.

Dental implants Are The #1 Choice For Tooth Replacement

A Dental implant can last well over 25 years with proper dental hygiene maintenance. They are considered a truly permanent solutions to missing teeth.

Other options include dental bridges or traditional full or partial dentures and they are far from permanent. A dental bridge under the best of care generally lasts maybe 10-15 years. Dental bridges will also affect adjacent teeth.

Dental bridges (fixed prosthesis) and traditional denture systems have their place in dentistry for sure but a dental implant is the far superior option for most patients. A dental implant will take a little more effort initially but will be well worth the end result for a lifetime of smiles.

Dental Implants – Cared For Like Natural Teeth

Special care is definitely needed with dental bridges and removable dentures. Dental implants require care just like you would your own natural teeth.

The care for a dental implant includes brushing, flossing, and rinsing just like always. No special tools or equipment to maintain your smile. You must be proactive and ensure your dental implants remains healthy. While tooth decay will not be an issue, infection in the jaw bone can cause a dental implant to fail. While a rare complication it can happen if dental hygiene is not maintained.

Implants Lowers Periodontal Disease Risk

Periodontal disease (gum disease) is a progressive condition that can cause permanent, irreversible damage. Generally, gum disease will occur when a patient is not maintaining good dental hygiene for their smile or dentures or bridges. However, it can also be related to complications with a patient’s bridge or dentures, such as a poor fit.

When a patient is not following the proper instructions for removable denture or dental bridge care, it is easy for inflammation to occur over time, eventually leading to bacterial infections, bleeding, dental abscesses, and more. Improper fit is another reason periodontal disease may set in, such as from a patient’s dentures rubbing and irritating their gums and jaw bone.

Dental implants eliminate all of these risks when properly designed and placed. Periodontal disease and bone loss following dental implant surgery is extremely rare.

Dental Implants = Improved Quality Of Life In Las Vegas NV

Studies have been completed to compare dental implant patients and an increased quality of life. The answers were a resounding YES. When dental implants restore your smile marred by missing teeth, it equals increased self confidence and self esteem. Also, includes being less self conscious when eating. Not having to worry what foods you can or cannot eat you are able to eat whatever you want.

Another positive is it is easier to speak properly with dental implants vs wearing a removable denture which will always have fit issues.

Implants are also exceptionally natural looking. Modern porcelain crowns can match color, shape, and translucency of our natural teeth to keep you looking and feeling great for years to come.

Dental Implants Prevent Bone Loss and Tooth Shift

With lost teeth comes the process of teeth shifting. This is a natural process whereby the surrounding teeth slowly shift into open space. This can lead to serious issues of misalignment, crooked teeth, as well as dental hygiene issues.

Another problem with not replacing missing teeth is bone loss occurring in the jaw and facial bones. Bone degeneration can occur rapidly when you are missing teeth and, in some cases, cannot always be easily reversed. This bone loss can even affect your facial structure (a sunken in appearance) making you appear older than you are.

Since implants are intimately connected to the bones, tooth shifting isn’t possible and bone loss is prevented. While a dental bridge or traditional dentures may prevent tooth shift, they will not be able to address the concern of future bone loss like modern dental implants do.
