Did you know that dental implants are frequently the best treatment option for replacing missing teeth?

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are an artificial tooth root that is inserted into your jawbone to support a crown, bridge or denture. For missing teeth most often we will attach a crown on the implant so you can’t even tell you are missing a tooth!

Why are dental implants the best option to replace missing teeth?

Dental implants have a very high success rate at about 95% so you can be almost certain that this procedure will be successful. Implants are also super durable and they are permanent so you will never have to deal with the problem again. They also require little maintenance other than good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. 

Another great benefit is that they can be more cost effective in the long run. They may seem a little more expensive up front but you have to take into account the fact that you will never have to have anything done to it again. There is not maintenance or upkeep and it will never have to be replaced.

Placing dental implants also ensure that your jawbone, gum tissue and other teeth are preserved and not messed with. Other forms of treatment for replacing missing teeth can mess with these things but dental implants keep the rest of your mouth as it is.

Are there any downsides to dental implants?

The only downside to dental implants is that the procedure is more invasive. Placing an implant is a surgical procedure but just remember that it’s a one time deal. It also requires a few more dental visits than other treatments but that just means you get to see us more!
