DENTAL IMPLANTS AT VALLEY DENTAL
If your smile is missing a tooth or two, dental implants are a great long-term solution! Implants appear and function as a natural tooth. With an implant, you can eat, talk, smile and enjoy all the other activities that come from having all your natural teeth.
If you have teeth that can’t be restored, then dental implants may be the right choice for you. Here’s what you need to know about implants at Valley Dental.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a prosthetic tooth with roots that are surgically set in the jaw which makes them strong and durable. Once a dental implant has been placed in your mouth, it is a permanent addition to your smile. Implants are brushed and flossed just like your natural teeth. Even though an implant isn’t a ‘living’ tooth, it is important to continue your routine oral care because implants need healthy gums and bones to remain securely in place! With our technology, we can change the color of the implant to match the shade of your natural teeth.
ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS RIGHT FOR YOU?
You might be a candidate for a dental implant if:
- You have healthy oral tissues
- You don’t smoke or use tobacco
- You maintain a good oral hygiene routine
- You have a strong enough jawbone for securing the implants in
Benefits of Dental Implants
Benefits of dental implants include but are not limited to:
- Enhanced appearance: Dental implants look just like your natural teeth. A dental implant can restore your smile and help you feel more confidence in your personal appearance.
- Improved digestion: Missing teeth can have a negative impact on your digestion because chewing can be more difficult or even impossible. Implants allow for food to be chewed completely in the digestion process.
- Improved speech: Missing teeth can cause a lisp that makes speech difficult. Installing an implant in place of a missing tooth can improve your speech.
- Improved self-esteem: You deserve to love your smile. A missing tooth can cause a loss of confidence – but installing a dental implant can restore your confidence once again.
- Durability: Dental implants are strong! If you take good care of your dental implants, they can last for decades.
- Convenience: Dental implants never need to be removed from your mouth (unlike dentures) or treated differently from your other teeth.
