Getting dental implants to replace missing teeth is a huge investment. You'll need to consider your options carefully before making your final decision. These unique benefits of dental implants over other tooth restorations might help you make that decision and reach out to your dentist, Dr. Cesar Cruz and Dr. Yoona Lee of Wedgwood Smiles in Seattle, WA, for dental implants.
They Look and Feel Natural
The best part about getting dental implants is how natural they look and feel. Many people who get dental implants can't tell the difference when they bite or speak. The biting force of your dental implants is the same as your natural teeth because it's implanted in your jaw bone too. That means you can enjoy many foods that other dental restorations might restrict you from.
Also, your dental implants are customized specially for you. Your dentist will ensure that they look almost identical to your natural teeth so that even your friends can't spot the difference.
They Prevent Bone Loss
Losing your teeth can affect your facial structure. That's because your jaw bone mass can reduce due to the lost stimulation. Tooth restorations such as dentures and bridges don't do much to stop the progressive bone density loss. However, dental implants can. Your dentist installs your dental implants into your jaw bone which encourages bone grows and reduces bone loss.
They Last Long
While other tooth restorations such as dental bridges can last up to ten years, your dental implants in Seattle, WA, can last a lifetime. That means with proper care, you shouldn't need to get a replacement. The metal implanted into your jaw bone is inert titanium, therefore, your body is less likely to reject it.
They Won't Move
Smile brightly and speak confidently without fear of your dental implants slipping out of place. They're secured firmly in your jawbone to save you from embarrassing situations.
They're Easy to Care for
Caring for your dental implants is no big deal. You won't need to follow any special routines as you can simply treat them like your natural teeth. That means ensuring that you brush twice daily and floss regularly. Regular dental visits are crucial too.
