Missing teeth can greatly diminish your smile’s aesthetic appeal. Thankfully, lost teeth can be restored to resemble their original state with dental implants. If a long-term tooth loss solution is what you seek, you can’t go wrong with dental implants for missing teeth. Implants will restore every aspect of your smile – its health, functionality, and appearance. Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania, residents can come to Heritage Dental for implant treatment.
In this post, Dr. Beth Skovron shares six reasons to choose implants to replace lost teeth:
Implant restorations are known for their comfort and natural, tooth-like appearance. The implant procedure entails placing small titanium posts (implants) into your jaw surgically to take the place of lost tooth roots. Once these posts fuse with your bone system and heal, they’re used as a foundation to keep your new teeth stable and secure, much like real tooth roots. Dr. Gomez will top the implant with porcelain restorations to give your smile a natural-looking appearance.
Secured by artificial tooth roots, implant restorations mimic the chewing power of natural teeth, giving you greater freedom in what you can eat. With implants, crispy, crunchy, and chewy foods are no longer off the table! You’ll be able to eat all kinds of healthy and delicious foods, without fear of your teeth coming loose.
Before and After Results of Our Patients.
When teeth are lost, your jawbone starts to deteriorate due to a lack of stimulation from chewing. Implants help prevent bone loss by stimulating your jaw. By maintaining the integrity of your jaw, implants help prevent facial collapse and other dental issues associated with bone loss.
Implants can last a lifetime with proper maintenance and care, and implant restorations can last up to 20 years before needing replacement. When it’s time for an upgrade, new restorations can be attached to the same implants to keep you smiling for years to come!
By integrating seamlessly with your jaw, implants simplify oral care, promoting healthier teeth and gums. Oral hygiene is easier without gaps in your teeth, and a cleaner mouth helps reduce the risk of cavities. When teeth go missing, the remaining teeth often start to shift to fill the gaps. This is called dental drift. Implants prevent dental drift, keeping your smile aligned. Implants also give you a full set of teeth to distribute biting forces evenly so you can eat more comfortably, with greater ease.
Easy maintenance is another advantage of getting implants. Unlike traditional dentures, which are removed for soaking and cleaning, implants are fixed restorations that are brushed and flossed just like real teeth. Dr. Skovron will schedule dental checkups and cleanings periodically to ensure your new teeth remain healthy and strong for years.
