Advantages of Dental Implants

Dental implants are the most effective solution to replace missing teeth. They are the only option that replaces your missing root as well as your missing tooth, providing you with a permanent replacement that should last for the rest of your life if properly cared for.

By choosing dental implants, you will experience many benefits over alternative tooth replacement options such as dentures or dental bridges. These include:

• Improved appearance – Your dental implants will look and feel just like your natural teeth.
• Improved speech – Dentures often do not fit properly and have a tendency to slip, causing speech problems. Because dental implants are permanently fused to your jawbone, you will not experience the slippage or speech issues associated with dentures.
• Easier eating – Dentures and bridges often make it difficult to chew your food. Because dental implants replace the root as well as the tooth, they will function just like your natural teeth, enabling you to eat all of your favorite foods whenever you like.
• Improved oral health – You will not have to alter adjacent teeth to support your implants the way you do with a dental bridge. This will improve your long term oral health and prevent problems with neighboring teeth down the road. Also, since dental implants replace your root as well, they will prevent future bone loss that is common with dentures and bridges. You will also avoid the gum shrinkage and gum irritation commonly associated with dentures.
• Convenience – By providing you with a permanent solution to your tooth loss, dental implants are a much more convenient option than dentures which must be removed and cleaned on a regular basis.

Due to these many advantages, Lincoln dentist Dr. Dan Beninato will almost always recommend dental implants if you are an ideal candidate and have sufficient bone density to support the implant.
