When you have missing teeth, it can be embarrassing and negatively affect your quality of life. You may avoid social situations and have difficulty eating your favorite foods. Missing teeth may even keep you from speaking correctly.
At Bass & Watson Family Dental, we don’t want anyone to suffer from tooth loss, but if you need to replace your missing teeth, dental implants have many benefits.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post placed into your jawbone; it acts as the root of your tooth and supports a prosthetic tooth such as a dental crown. Dental implants can even support a bridge or denture if you are missing more than one tooth.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
With dental implants from Bass & Watson Family Dental, you can expect the following benefits:
Durability
Because dental implants are anchored into your jaw and replace your tooth’s root, you can bite down with the same force as your natural teeth.
Longevity
While some other tooth replacement options require periodic replacement, your dental implants are meant to last a lifetime. They are the best long-term tooth replacement option available.
Comfort
Your dental implants will be so comfortable you won’t even realize you have them. They won’t slip or move around like dentures can.
Easy Care
When it comes to caring for your dental implants, it’s the same as caring for your other teeth. Just brush and floss normally; there are no special products to buy or lengthy care instructions.
Natural Appearance
We can match your dental implants to your other teeth to give you a seamless smile. No one will know which teeth are implants and which ones are your natural teeth.
Bone Loss Prevention
Because the dental implant replaces your tooth’s root, it stimulates your jawbone and keeps it from deteriorating over time.
