Dental implants are as durable as original teeth

Jul 4, 2019

Dental implants are as durable as original teeth and can last a lifetime.  For many years, the only solutions to missing teeth have been dentures, crowns and bridges, all of which are either temporary or difficult to maintain. Happily, today we have another option – dental implants –which provide a natural-looking, permanent solution to your missing teeth.  A dental implant can support individual crowns, multiple crowns and even dentures. If you are missing a single tooth, multiple teeth or all of your teeth, you may be a viable candidate for implants.

“For people that are living with missing teeth… implants are the optimal treatment option. It just rejuvenates a smile, right back to what it should be.”

Advantages of a Dental Implant Over Bridges or Partial Dentures

  • Dental implants are as durable as original teeth and can last a lifetime.
  • Implants act like natural teeth, stimulating bone growth and preserving your natural facial structure.
  • Tooth implants are attached to your jaw, so they will never slip or rub, allowing you eat what you like!
  • They function and feel exactly like natural teeth, and they are easy to care for.
  • Unlike bridges and dentures, implants do not damage to surrounding teeth.

What Are Dental Implants?

Implants are constructed from Titanium alloy, which is made to mimic and replace your natural tooth root. Once inserted, they become a permanent part of your jaw. Connected to each implant is an abutment, which protrudes from your gum line. On top of this abutment is placed a crown, which is an artificial tooth that is custom fabricated to match the shape of your natural teeth.

Advancements are being made to the design of implants every year, and candidates now have many implant options to choose from. Even people who have a jaw with “narrow bone” can now be considered as a candidate for grafting in preparation for implants.

Is an Implant Right for You?

At Dean Cosmetic Dentistry, many of our clients ask us about dental implants. The most common questions are How much do tooth implants cost? and How quickly can implants be completed? These are great questions. While many dental implant questions can be answered in general, Dr. Dean believes the most important questions for each of his patient are:

  1. “Am I a good candidate for dental implants?”
  2. “Which kind of dental implants are right for me?”

To accurately determine the answers to these two questions, Dr. Dean will review your individual history, health, and specific dental needs.
