Advantages of Dental Implants

You have several options available to replace your missing teeth, including:

At Winterholler Dentistry, we typically recommend dental implants as the preferred treatment method for all of our patients who are ideal candidates for the procedure. We feel that they provide you with several distinct advantages over the alternative treatment options.

Some of the advantages of dental implants include:

  • Durability – When properly cared for, your dental implants will last for the rest of your life.
  • Improved appearance – Dental implants closely mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth.
  • Improved comfort – Dental implants are significantly more comfortable than dentures or dental bridges.
  • Improved speech – Dentures are prone to slippage, creating difficulty speaking. Since dental implants are permanently rooted in your jawbone, you will not experience issues associated with slippage.
  • Easier eating – Your dental implants will function just like your natural teeth, enabling you to eat anything you want. Dentures, on the other hand, often make chewing difficult.
  • Convenience – Dental implants are very easy to maintain, requiring the normal brushing and flossing necessary for your natural teeth.
  • Permanent – Dental implants become rooted into your jawbone, providing a permanent solution that does not need to be removed the way dentures or removable bridges do.
  • Improved oral health – Neighboring teeth do not need to be altered to support your implant. Therefore, more of your natural tooth structure is preserved, improving your long term oral health.
  • Improved self confidence – Your dental implants will restore your natural smile so that you will feel confident flashing your pearly whites once again.
