You keep hearing that dental implants are exceptional! Not only do they replace the part of your tooth that you can see but they also replace your roots! They’re the only option for replacing the whole tooth. You can tell from the enthusiasm associated with this detail that it’s important, of course, but as for why you should be so excited about restoring your missing roots, well … you’re a bit lost. We can, of course, quickly furnish you with the information you’re missing as of yet, so you see what the fuss is about!
They Provide An Exceptional Anchor
A prosthetic without dental implant support is just the crown of your tooth. A denture relies on your gums, a partial relies on your gums and your teeth, and a bridge utilizes nearby teeth. You’ll get some stability but not the same that you were used to with your natural teeth. Replacing your whole tooth (roots, too) means your new tooth is anchored into your jaw just like natural teeth.
They “Talk” To Your Jawbone
Your roots were responsible for keeping your jaw healthy. Your jaw tissue interpreted messages every time it received stimulation (when you bit down). You lose this unless you replace roots with dental implants.
They Offer Longer Lasting Smile Preservation
As a result of that communication that occurs between your roots or your dental implants and your jaw tissue, the fact that your jaw remains strong is beneficial. Implant-supported prosthetics, unlike prosthetics that are not anchored into your jawbone, help preserve your smile in the following ways:
- They stop teeth from moving around because they physically take up the space of your former tooth (thereby preserving alignment)
- They stop your jaw from shrinking, which preserves your smile, thereby preventing you from requiring new prosthetics to fit an ever-changing structure
