How Implant Dentistry Improves the Smiles Longevity


When teeth are lost or missing within a smile due to trauma, injury, or decay, oral and overall health will both eventually be negatively impacted. The repercussions of missing teeth involve more than just the possible embarrassment of having gaps in your smile. Every day functions such as chewing, and speaking can be exceedingly difficult. Natural facial aesthetics are also altered due to the underlying jaw bone structure withering and receding.

With all these dire affects, dental implants are a highly successful and reliable tooth replacement solution that can completely replace your original tooth’s structure and serve as a strong foundation for dental prosthetics that rejuvenate your appearance. 

Below we will discuss the many ways dental implants can greatly improve the long-lasting health, function, and beauty of your smile.

Replacing Teeth from Root to Crown

Part of the reliable success of dental implants is their ability to serve as artificial tooth roots, restoring essential stimulation to the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. When teeth and their vital roots are missing, there is nothing to encourage proper function to your jawbone, causing weakening and gum-tissue recession as your body begins to recognize it being unused.

Osseointegration involves the bio compatible titanium that make up dental implant posts to naturally fuse with living tissue and bone as the titanium material is accepted by the body.  Once healed, your dental care professional will affix your custom-crafted dental prosthetic, allowing for beauty, form, and function to be fully restored.

Helping You Smile with Confidence

A smile compromised by missing or lost teeth can not only have a negative impact on your oral and overall health, the adverse effects can also hinder your self-confidence. It is difficult to enjoy even the smallest of activities when you’re self-conscious about your appearance and feel the need to hide your smile. With the reliable and secure foundation dental implants provide, prosthetics can be affixed to your implants, allowing you to smile normally with full-confidence. When properly cared for, dental implants can last for a lifetime.
