Any high-quality dental prosthesis can restore your immediate confidence by replacing the visible parts of your lost teeth. However, over time, that confidence can wain as your prosthesis begins to lose its grip and no longer fit your smile properly. With dental implants, your crown, bridge, or denture will retain its comfortable, lifelike fit for as long as you wear it, helping you maintain that confidence for life.
Dental implants, which are biocompatible root-like posts, support your dental prosthesis without the need for additional constructs like clasps or abutment teeth. Therefore, there is no extra apparatus to work around when brushing and flossing your teeth, which improves your chances of removing all harmful bacteria and preventing issues such as cavities and gum disease.
Besides supporting your teeth, roots also support your jawbone by facilitating a healthy flow of nutrients every time you bite and chew. Traditional bridges and dentures can’t restore this stimulation, and over time, you can experience jawbone degradation and facial collapse even after replacing your lost teeth. As a result of reestablishing this stimulation, dental implants help improve your facial appearance by preventing these consequences.
With the unique benefit of replacing lost teeth roots, dental implants can improve several aspects of your oral health in addition to restoring your smile. To learn more, schedule a consultation with Dr. Kania by calling her periodontal office in Encinitas/San Diego, CA, at (760) 642-0711.
