Six Benefits of Single-Tooth Dental Implants
Dental implants have continued to become a popular and very effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They are surgically placed by our dentist into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as dentures or crowns. While they do improve your smile’s appearance, they also offer numerous benefits for your oral health and overall well-being. If you are in the Baltimore, Maryland, area and want to speak to a dentist about single-tooth implants and their benefits, contact Dr. Matthew Wallengren and his team today!
What are the six benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants are highly requested by patients who are missing teeth, and for good reasons! Below are six primary benefits of why our patients love dental implants for restoring their smiles!
- Improved appearance. Quality dental implants are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, providing a more seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile. The replacement teeth are custom-fabricated for each individual to match your existing teeth in their appearance, including color, size, and shape, making them virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
- Enhanced self-confidence. Missing teeth often cause embarrassment and self-consciousness, ultimately leading to a lack of confidence. Dental implants allow you to smile and speak confidently without worrying about gaps or slipping dentures.
- Better oral health. Unlike other tooth replacement options available at our office, dental implants don’t rely on neighboring teeth for support. This means that the adjacent teeth do not need to be altered or damaged in any way to accommodate the implant. As a result, your natural teeth can remain intact and healthy.
- Improved chewing and speech. Missing teeth or even ill-fitting dentures can make it difficult to eat certain foods or speak properly. Dental implants provide both a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth, allowing you to chew and speak with confidence and ease.
- Long-lasting solution. With proper care and maintenance, many of our patients find that their dental implants can last a lifetime. This makes implants a more cost-effective solution in the long run compared to other tooth replacement options that may need frequent repairs or replacements.
- Bone preservation. When natural teeth are missing, the jawbone typically begins to deteriorate and lose its density and strength. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone just like one’s natural teeth, promoting bone growth and preventing that “sunken” appearance to the mouth and jaw area that is often seen in those with long-time tooth loss.
