We’re pleased to share the specifics! Ready for implants? Just call us today.

They’re Not Relying On Remaining Teeth

Whether you choose dental implants and dental crowns, an implant-retained bridge, or otherwise, remember that they’re not going to rely on your natural teeth. They’re not relying on your gum tissue either. This is one of those benefits that’s so magical! Instead, the restoration you choose will rely on the dental implants placed in your jawbone, thereby eliminating potential damage to your natural tissues.

Caring For Your Whole Smile Is Easy

Piggybacking on the fact that dental implants provide for independently supported restorations is the idea that it becomes very easy to care for your oral health (which means it’s very easy to maintain your smile health). With implants, there are no tight spaces, new and difficult areas to clean, etc. Instead, you enjoy optimal bite balance and a smile that’s very easy to brush and floss. So, you can easily protect against issues like decay and bad breath!

They Stimulate Your Jaw Tissue!

You will hear this mentioned and discussed quite a lot, when you’re thinking about dental implants. You hear about it frequently because it’s extremely significant! Implants stimulate your jaw tissue. What does this mean though, and why so exciting? Well, we remind you first that your roots were doing more than just supporting your tooth. They were pressed into your jawbone, where they resided, and each time you bit down, that pressure that they provided acted as a signal. Each tooth was letting your jaw know that the tooth was there, which was like a reminder to your tooth and body that jaw tissue needed to remain healthy to continue to support your tooth.

Lose a tooth, lose roots, and the stimulation stops. Your jaw tissue will then tend to diminish over time, leading to oral health problems and possibly more tooth loss. Replace roots with implants? Problem solved.
