If you have more than one tooth missing, there are a few options to explore. There are bridges, partial dentures, and implant supported bridges. The benefits of the implant options, though, far outweigh the benefits of the others.
Did you know that Implant Supported teeth are actually the healthiest option for your jaw bone and surrounding gum tissue? Implants may prevent bone loss, a common problem for people with missing teeth. Removable dentures and bridges, on the other hand, actually accelerate the bone deterioration process, and can loosen the adjacent teeth where the bridge or denture is attached.
Additional advantages to Implants include:
-
Comfort: They feel and act like normal teeth making chewing and other daily activities easier and more comfortable.
-
Style: No need to hide your smile! Implants look just like your natural teeth, allow you to eat comfortably and without worry of embarrassing mishaps, and help you retain your youthful good looks.
-
Durability: Implants are stable and a long-term solution if you are missing teeth. They can last more than 10 years, and for many people their entire life without replacement.
-
Timely: Perhaps best of all, the Implant procedure, which is performed by our Oral Surgeon Dr. Smiler, is an out-patient procedure and in many cases can be completed in just one visit.
