Additional Advantages of Dental Implants
Dental implants are the closest tooth replacement to a natural tooth. They offer several advantages that our patients appreciate:
- Jawbone protection — Dental implants replace your root, helping your bone avoid the deterioration that accompanies tooth loss.
- Natural look and feel — An implant looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
- Bite stabilization — Replacing a tooth ensures proper bite alignment for correct chewing function.
- Excellent longevity — A dental implant can potentially last for a lifetime with the proper care and routine dental checkups.
- Easy home care — You can brush and floss an implant just as you would your natural tooth.
