Tooth loss is a complicated situation. When you lose even a single tooth you’re not only negatively affecting your smile but you’re also putting your other teeth at risk for loss. It can be hard to separate good information about tooth replacement solutions from some of the junk online, and that’s why New Albany Implants is here for you.
Make no mistake: a dental implant is the best choice for replacing a single tooth, several, or even a whole mouthful. While that might be obvious to those who work with them every day it isn’t for our patients that only experience the positive benefits – it’s hard to know why dental implants are a good choice. That’s what we want to talk about today and we hope that these reasons will help you make a clear, easy decision!
Implants Give You Your Bite Back
Missing teeth can make eating difficult. How many times have you been with friends or family and had an embarrassing situation because of missing teeth or slipping dentures? If you’re like a lot of our patients the answer is simply too many times!
Dental implants are incredibly strong once placed and healed – there’s no food that you won’t be able to enjoy within a few months of treatment! The secret to their strength lies in the design of dental implants: they’re tooth-sized titanium screws that are placed directly into your jaw, perfectly mimicking a natural tooth. Titanium has the unique ability to bond with bone, making it an ideal substance for implant use. The bond that will form between your implant and jaw will be a strong, lifelong one!
Implants Look Completely Real
Many of our patients worry about the look of their dental implants – will the blend will with your natural teeth? Will they stand out and show metal? The answers to those questions can both be answered in the exact same way: no one will ever be able to tell your implant restoration isn’t natural!
From our single tooth solutions to our full-mouth solutions, the crowns and bridges we craft are amazingly lifelike. Even the temporary bridges we place immediately after your procedure are beautiful – many patients are amazed by how great those look too!
The metal implant itself will never be visible. Our bridges and crowns are placed firmly at the gumline, helping them blend invisibly into your mouth.
Implants Are Permanent
If you wear partial or full dentures you’ve probably dealt with the uncomfortable slipping, sliding, and falling that come with them. No matter how great your dentures are they still don’t work like natural teeth! You have to adjust your diet, work around the discomfort of constant pressure on your gums, and the roof of your mouth is covered too!
Dental implants eliminate all the hassle of dentures by being permanent, stable, and reliable – you don’t need to treat them any differently than natural teeth! Brushing twice a day and flossing are the standard ways to take care of dental implants – no removal, rinsing, soaking, or special creams needed!
Implants Make Life Better
Study after study confirms what our New Albany dental team and our patients already know: dental implants improve quality of life for all patients who have them. The embarrassment of denture accidents and missing teeth are a thing of the past, you can eat what you want, and you can smile and speak completely naturally.
Even a single dental implant can change your life and we want to be there when it does! There’s nothing quite like the smile on a patient’s face when they experience their new dental implant for the first time. They know right away that their life is about to improve for the better!
If you’re tired of avoiding social situations, dealing with dentures, hiding your smile, or limiting your diet you owe it to yourself to consider dental implants from New Albany Implants!
