Why choose implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements used to counter tooth loss. The procedure is categorized as a form of prosthetic (artificial replacement) dentistry, though it also falls into a category of cosmetic dentistry as well.
Although you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth you need to discuss with your dentist, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants. In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of al teeth and supporting structures.
Advantages of dental implants
- Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, a few teeth, or all teeth on one or both arches of your mouth
- Implants are fixed in place and don’t move
- Implants look feel and function like your normal teeth
- Dental implants allow you to eat all the foods you like, just like natural teeth
- Dental implants are among the most successful procedures in dentistry.
- Dental implants and your new teeth can be placed without impacting other healthy teeth. This is not true with traditional bridges, which require the filing down of helathy adjacent teeth to support the bridge.
- Dental implants are placed into and fused with the bone in your jaws. This provides stability and prevents bone loss and atrophy that normally result from missing teeth.
- Dental implants are the longest term solution that can last a lifetime
Success rates of dental implants
There is no guarantee that an implant procedure will be successful, but studies have shown a 5 year success rate of 95% for lower jaw implants and 90% for upper jaw implants. |
