Dental implants have many advantages, including:

• • Enhanced appearance. A dental implant looks and feels like a natural tooth. Once implanted into the bone, it becomes permanent.
  • Speech improvement. A poorly fitting denture can cause you to mumble or slur your words as the teeth slip within your mouth. With dental implants, you can speak without having to worry about your teeth slipping.
  • More comfortable. Implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures because they become part of you.
  • Eating is more comfortable. Dentures that slide can be uncomfortable to wear. You can eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain when you have dental implants.
  • You will feel more confident. With dental implants, you can regain your smile and feel better about yourself.
  • Better oral health. Unlike a tooth-supported bridge, dental implants do not require reducing neighboring teeth. As nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, your own teeth remain intact, improving your long-term oral health. In addition, individual implants provide easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
  • Longevity. Implants are very durable and last for many years. Many implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
  • Convenient. You can remove your removable dentures at any time. Unlike dentures, dental implants do not need messy adhesives to keep them in place. They also eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures.
