Benefits to Appearance, Function, and Structural Integrity
Dental implants are relatively new in the world of prosthetic dentistry, but in the decades since their introduction, they have resulted in a success rate of over 90% in rebuilding patients’ smiles. This is largely due to the functional and structural benefits of biocompatible implant post technology. The small, root-like posts are made from biocompatible titanium, which fuses with your jawbone as it heals after placement. Your dentist can then utilize the posts to support a custom prosthesis such as a dental crown, bridge, or denture.
Prosthetics to Mimic Natural Teeth
By mimicking the way your natural teeth roots support your healthy structures, dental implants offer the most lifelike method of replacing your lost teeth and fully rebuilding your smile. Instead of being held in place by supportive crowns and abutment teeth, or by hidden clasps and adhesives, implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures are anchored to your jawbone and dental ridge. This means they won’t lose their grip and shift over time, and you won’t have to grow accustomed to the feel of clasps or adhesives.
Your long-term oral health also benefits from the renewed stimulation in your jawbone that your implant posts provide when you bite and chew. Dental implants don’t just restore your lost teeth, they also restore their ability to support and maintain your jawbone and surrounding oral structures.
