Top 5 Benefits of Getting Our Dental Implants

Written By Mekari Dental Studio and SPA on December 23, 2020

Tooth loss happens due to tooth decay, infection, gum disease, or accident. It affects our ability to eat and speak properly and takes a toll on our self-esteem and confidence. 

Fortunately, technological advancements in dental care have provided individuals with missing teeth a modern and lasting alternative to dental implants like dentures and bridges .

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants  are artificial tooth root replacements made from screw-like titanium or metal posts. A dentist or periodontist screws an implant on a missing root in the upper or lower jaw and waits for the bones surrounding the implant to heal. Then, a fixed or permanent artificial tooth can be attached to the implant.

Dental Implant Advantages

Dental implants provide an improved appearance, self-esteem, and these benefits:

Comfort and Convenience

Dental implants are permanent and become a part of your mouth. Unlike dentures, they don’t require the removal and dental adhesives to keep them in place.

Durability

With proper care and regular dentist visits, titanium dental implants can last a lifetime.

Enhanced Oral Health

Unlike in tooth-supported bridges, the dentist does not have to reduce other teeth to place dental implants. Oral health improves as other teeth are left intact. Individual implants also improve oral hygiene since you can clean and brush areas in between the teeth.

Normal Biting and Chewing

Loose removable dentures can make biting and chewing hard. With dental implants, you can bite and chew food easily, without pain or fear that your dentures might crack or fall off.

Improved Speech

Loose or poor-fitting dentures can slip off and cause you to slur or mumble. You won’t have this problem with dental implants because they are securely screwed, designed to fuse with the bones, and become permanent attachments.
