Questions
Benefits of Dental Implants questions, answered.
Every mouth is different. If your question is not here, call the office and we will answer it directly.
What are the benefits of dental implants over dentures?
- Dental implants stay fixed in place, so they don't rub, slip, or need adhesives the way removable dentures can. They also stimulate the jawbone the way a natural tooth root does, which helps prevent the bone loss that often comes with long-term denture wear.
Do dental implants protect my other teeth?
- Yes. An implant fills the gap left by a missing tooth, so neighboring teeth are not left to shift out of position. Implants can also serve as an anchor for a bridge or denture, giving that restoration more stability than it would have on its own.
How long do dental implants last?
- Implants are designed to be a permanent, long-lasting solution and can last a lifetime with proper care. How long yours last depends on factors like your oral hygiene and overall health, which our team can talk through with you at a consultation.
Will a dental implant look natural?
- A dental implant is topped with a custom crown made to blend in with your smile, so it looks and feels like a natural tooth. It also helps maintain the fullness of your face by supporting the surrounding soft tissue.
Are dental implants better than a bridge?
- A traditional bridge relies on the teeth next to the gap for support, while an implant stands on its own and doesn't affect neighboring teeth. Implants also help preserve the jawbone underneath, which a bridge does not do.
