Implants are becoming one of the most popular ways to replace missing teeth. Here’s why…
If you’ve been contemplating whether dental implants are right for you then you may be doing your research to determine the pros of this tooth-replacement option. Here are just some of the top reasons why people are turning to our San Diego, CA, dentist Dr. Edmund Jay to get dental implants.
They Look Like the Real Thing
A dental implant is covered with a dental crown, a prosthetic that is made to resemble a real tooth. Each crown is custom-made to match the overall shape, color and size of your smile to fit in place. No one will be able to tell which teeth are real and which ones are dental implants.
They Feel Like the Real Thing
Dental implants don’t just look like real teeth, they also act like real teeth. They are just as durable and strong as natural teeth, and once the implant is placed it will function just like the rest of your smile. Since a dental implant is anchored to the jawbone you never have to worry about your implant moving or shifting around. It is a permanent prosthetic tooth.
Implants Prevent Bone Loss
One of the most serious consequences of losing a tooth is that over time this can lead to bone loss. How? Since the roots of the tooth are no longer there, they can’t do their part to keep the bone strong and healthy. Luckily, by placing a dental implant into the jawbone, it can stimulate the jawbone and encourage bone growth and prevent bone loss in the future.
Implants Provide Structural Support
Bone loss is responsible for causing that shrunken, sagging appearance that often occurs in those with untreated tooth loss. Fortunately, by placing an implant into the jawbone to replace your tooth we not only strengthen and support the jawbone but also your facial structure, too.
Eat What You Want…
And do what you want. Go out and grab a delicious meal with friends. Say yes to that date. Tell your boss you want to sit down and talk about a raise. When you have a beautiful, confident smile you’ll be surprised how much everything feels easier. You may just find your social calendar filling up and your career finally revving up the way it should. Having total confidence in your smile is powerful.
