Benefits of Dental Implant Treatments
Missing teeth can be a big hassle for anyone. They don’t only cause problems in day to day activities (chewing, biting) but may also make you feel less about your physical appearance. Tooth decay and aging are the two most common causes of missing teeth, but there are other reasons too such as gum diseases. And even though people hesitate from getting implants due to various reasons, including the expense and the hassle of going through surgery. However, there are many benefits of dental implant that are overlooked.
Here are some of the benefits of dental implant treatments:
-
Long-term Solution
Dental implants are as strong as natural healthy teeth and do not decay or discolor by the consumption of normal foods. They are considered a long-lasting solution and can last for up to twenty years with proper care.
-
Feel Better
According to reports, individuals with missing teeth find it difficult to smile and often feel uncomfortable. This can result in the person losing self esteem. However, dental implants can treat this problem well.
In addition, dental implants can also improve your speaking capability, removing stammering and stuttering issues. Plus, with the help of implants you can also chew and bite properly, which may be difficult with missing teeth.
-
Protects the Bone
Dental implants are fully attached to your jawbone. This holds the bone in position which maintains the overall stability of the rest of the teeth attached to the same bone. Bone augmentation adds extra bone material to support the implant which is then grafted with the jawbone. This increases the strength of the bone and adds extra protection.
Dentures or Dental Implant?
If you want to replace an entire set of teeth, then implants are a much better solution than dentures. Here is why:
- Dentures are removable teeth. You can not sleep with them at night and there is always a chance of them slipping in public while you are eating or drinking or merely talking.
- The gum base of dentures is made from acrylic and is visible making it obvious. However, dental implants look and perform just like natural teeth.
- A single set of dentures can last only for 6-8 year, whereas implants can last for up to 20 years or more.
- Dentures are more affordable though.
