When you are wearing a traditional prosthetic of any kind, you have successfully replaced the missing teeth that once comprised part of your smile. Or, if you are wearing full dentures, you have replaced the teeth that comprised the entirety of your smile. While you may feel happy to have a full smile back for your function and for esthetic value, you may feel like something is missing. Maybe you never feel secure about your smile because you’re worried about movement or long-term wear. Perhaps you have other concerns. Today, our Santa Rosa, CA practice focuses on those things that you can gain when you switch from a prosthetic with traditional support to one supported by dental implants!
You Gain Root Replacement, Too
One of the things you absolutely must keep in mind in regard to the benefits you gain from switching from traditional support to that provided by dental implants? It’s the one pathway that gives you your tooth roots back. Don’t forget that all traditional prosthetics simply replace tissue at and above your gumline but not below (meaning your roots will still be missing). The express job of implants is to replace roots, which then act as the support for your prosthetic to replace the crown portion of missing teeth. As you may already realize, roots keep your jaw healthy, so you’re gaining long-term jaw protection!
You Gain Super Stability
You’ll hear this time and time again and that is because it’s a wonderful thing to gain when you move from traditional prosthetics to prosthetics with dental implants: You gain exceptional stability. Implants are solidly in place and, as a result, the crown, bridge, partial, or denture they support isn’t budging a bit!
You Gain Protection For Remaining Teeth
When you rely on traditional prosthetics, remember that they rely on your natural structures for support, including your gum tissue, palate, and teeth. Unfortunately, this can put remaining teeth at risk for damage, particularly when a partial or bridge needs them for support. When you choose dental implants, you gain the ability to fully preserve remaining tissues, as the restorations will only use the implants as their foundation!
You Gain The Ability To Relax
We remind you that you get to leave your smile worries behind when you choose dental implants. Say goodbye to concerns about shifting, longevity, your appearance, maintenance, and more!
