500,000 people are choosing dental implants to replace their missing teeth every year. They are the most successful and reliable method of replacing lost teeth, but are they worth the investment? Yes! Here’s why dental implants are worth every penny.
Looks and Feels Natural
Traditional tooth replacement methods have come a long way in terms of function and aesthetics, but they’ll always have their limitations. Dental implants closely look and feel natural because they are the only solution to replace both the root and the crown.
Your restorations are customized to blend in with your remaining teeth. The implant posts are hidden below your gums in your jaw, providing unmatched support and stability. Only a trained dental professional will know they aren’t real.
Reduces Overall Oral Health Expenses
Traditional dental prosthetics only replace the portions of teeth above the gum line. As a result, they do nothing to stop bone loss caused by missing teeth. Since a dental implant replaces the root, it preserves your jaw to promote new bone growth.
You can avoid common issues caused by tooth loss by keeping your jaw strong and healthy, like gum disease and cavities. Although you may pay more upfront for dental implants, they can end up paying for themselves because you’re less likely to need costly treatments later.
Never Need to be Replaced
Traditional bridges and dentures need to be replaced every few years, which can get expensive over time. You’ll never have to budget for replacements again by choosing dental implants.
They have over a 95% success rate and are proven to last for 30 years or longer with the correct care. You can ensure your dental implants last for a lifetime by committing to your oral hygiene at home and visiting your dentist twice a year for a cleaning and checkup.
Peace of Mind
You will never have to worry about gaps in your smile again. You’ll instantly boost your self-esteem to look and feel your best. No one will know your dental implants aren’t real.
You’ll be able to eat anything you like, so you won’t have to leave anything off your plate when grabbing lunch with a friend. Not to mention, dental implants won’t slip or move around when eating, talking, or laughing. Although it may take some time to get used to your dental implants, you may soon forget they aren’t your real teeth.
You can’t put a price on the benefits you’ll gain by investing in the most advanced solution for tooth loss. Dental implants are time and money well spent to never have to worry about missing teeth again.
