Have you lost teeth and wish you had them back? Do you wish you could chew like you used to? Are you tired of the inconvenience of having to deal with dentures? If you answered yes to any of these questions, dental implants may be exactly what you need!

Like your natural teeth, dental implants are placed in the bone so they can support crowns or dentures much more securely than is possible through other means. This means that they have lots of advantages over dentures, bridges, or leaving gaps in your mouth. First of all, dental implants are stronger and much more serviceable than bridges or dentures. Also, because they are rooted directly in the bone of your jaw, they make it easier to chew more forcefully and more naturally. Dental implants also have the attractive feature of a very impressive 90-95% success rate over the course of 5 years!

Another major advantage of dental implants is their versatility. An implant can be used to replace a single tooth, or several of them can be used to securely support a dental bridge. They can also be used to mount dentures for greater stability, easier chewing, and greater comfort than the removable dentures that you've been using.

There are also health benefits to using dental implants. Once your implants have had a chance to integrate into the bone of your jaw and the restoration has been installed on top, you'll be able to exert force on your jawbone when you chew. The force of chewing will keep the bone tissue healthy and strong! Also, while regular dental exams and home care are necessary to maintain the health of the implant, implants are not susceptible to the formation of cavities and will be more convenient to care for than your dentures.
