There may be something about considering dental implants that causes you to feel as though you need to justify your decision. You might feel like you owe yourself justification for choosing to invest in them. You may feel as though the people around you are going to require some sort of explanation! However, once you become familiar with the benefits (and the fact that they are actually surprisingly cost effective), those feelings can begin to fall away. As for what you need in order to feel good about saying yes to implants for your tooth loss? Our Rohnert Park, CA team has those reasons and they certainly carry more than enough weight on their own!
Your Need To Replace Missing Teeth
If we’re really going to pare it back and talk about the single reason you can feel wonderful about selecting dental implants and why you need them: It’s because you have missing teeth that you need to replace. “But can’t I get a traditional prosthetic instead?” you might ask. Yes, you could do that. However, you have an entire tooth structure to replace and traditionally supported prosthetics do not do that. They only replace the tissue that’s visible. Implants give you the power to fully replace a tooth. You can replace the missing root with the implant and then the missing crown of your tooth with a restoration. Reason enough!
Your Jawbone Requires Protection
This may be news to you (or it may be one of the main reasons you feel so strongly about dental implants). Remember, this is a very important reason to choose implants! Without implants, you will most certainly deal with some level of jawbone deterioration. Over time, your jaw tissue will break down because of the lack of root stimulation in one or more spaces. This has a domino effect, which leads to a shrinking jaw, diminishing volume to your lower face, and a prematurely aged look. It can also promote additional tooth loss in the future. Implants protect your smile (and more).
Long-Term Replacement Means Implants
We offer you one final, very solid reason to feel just fine selecting dental implants, without feeling as though justification is required. Implants last. They last a very long time, if not forever. So, if you’re seeking a treatment that truly replaces your tooth, rather than acting as a “Band-Aid” so to speak, then this is the only avenue you have for that sort of ultimate longevity to simply have your smile back.
