Benefits of Dental Implants

Joseph Coupal - Friday, April 26, 2013

Dental implants are one of the most common and  long lasting treatments for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants function similarly to a real tooth by replacing the missing tooth with an artificial tooth and root. In this process, the root of the tooth is replaced with a titanium screw. It is inserted into the jawbone and attached with an artificial tooth.

The natural appearance of dental implants is one of their greatest advantages. They look very similar to natural teeth and look and work better than bridges and dentures. Compared to other treatments for replacing missing teeth, dental implants have a significantly more natural appearance.
 
Dental implants are easy and a more convenient solution than other options for most patients. They can also be used as a support for dentures because the titanium root is securely screwed into the jaw. Today, most dentists are choosing implants to replace missing teeth and enhance overall appearance.

Though dental implants are more expensive than other treatment options, they last a lifetime when properly cared for making them very cost effective. For one or more missing teeth, consider dental implants for a younger, healthier more natural appearance. Contact Oyster Point Dentistry in Newport News, VA.
