A missing tooth is more than a gap; it's a loss of confidence, a change in the way that you speak, and an interruption in enjoying the foods you love. While talking about options such as bridges and dentures are certainly valid, such options are likely to be a quick temporary fix for a permanent problem.
At World of Dentistry, every day we look for solutions that last a lifetime, and that is why we advocate for dental implants, as they are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. Implants should not be thought of as a product, but rather, an investment for your long-term health, function, and happiness.
Here is a closer look at why dental implants are the best value for your smile.
What Makes a Dental Implant Different?
Unlike other solutions where the restoration sits above the gums, dental implants are designed to replace your tooth from root level up. This is a three-component solution, and it is a testament to modern dentistry:
- The Implant Post: A small titanium screw (a biocompatible material that your body accepts) precisely placed into your jawbone. This post acts like a new super-strong tooth root.
- The Abutment: A small connector piece attached to the implant post after healing which rests just above the gums.
- The Crown: The final piece, a beautiful custom-made porcelain tooth that is attached to the abutment. This porcelain tooth is made to the colour and shape of your surrounding teeth so that it is indistinguishable from the real thing.
This construction is what gives you the unique success and feel of a dental implant.
The True Value: Why Implants Are a Superior Investment
The upfront expense of an implant may be greater than alternatives, but living with its benefits gives value that far outweighs its cost.
- They Preserve your Jawbone and your Face
When you lose a tooth, the bone below it will shrink without use. Due to the loss of that bone, your neighboring teeth may weaken. More distantly, it won't be long before your facial structure is altered, making your appearance sunken and aged.
Implants are the only option that will prevent bone loss altogether. Due to "osseointegration," the implant fuses into the jaw and gives it the stimulation to keep it healthy and strong so that your youthful facial contours stay intact.
- They Preserve your Healthy Teeth
Traditional dental bridges require the filing down of healthy neighboring teeth to act as anchors. This starts with ruining healthy enamel on perfectly healthy teeth.
Implants can stand on their own. They only benefit from the empty gap and never touch a neighboring tooth. They ensure your natural smile and won't cause issues down the road for your healthy teeth.
- They Give You Back Full Function and Confidence
The bottom line is - there are limited restrictions with dental implants. The reason is that they are anchored as securely as a natural root (there's a reason we call it an 'implant'). You'll be able to:
- Eat anything you like: Whether it’s something hard like crunchy apples or chewy like steak, your implant will not slip or shift.
- Speak clearly and without fear: It's great to now be able to speak without worrying that your denture will slide in and give you a slur or that you will click when you make certain sounds.
- Smile confidently: Your implant will feel and look so natural you might just forget it's there!
- They Are A Solution For Life
You will need to refit or repair or retake impressions for a bridge or denture every 5-15 years. Wow - the cost and time associated with repeat appointments really adds up!
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime. Proper hygiene and regular check-ups will keep your implant healthy for decades. It will definitely cause you the least amount of stress and expense over a lifetime.
