What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?

When patients come into our practice and are missing a tooth or several teeth, one of the options Dr. Pasquier of Miami Modern Dental suggests are dental implants.

Dental implants are titanium rods that are placed into the bone of your jaw. These rods are surgically placed, and a process called osseointegration allows the bone to accept the implant and allows it to become solid and stable. The implant is then topped with a crown in order to give the appearance of a natural tooth.

There are a variety of benefits to dental implants. Dental implants are an appropriate alternative to bridges and dentures, which can be more of a hassle than a help. Although typically more expensive, they can last your entire lifetime if properly cared for. Additionally, their placement into the bone allows them to act and function as a natural tooth, and are given the stability they need in order to stay in place and become functional within your mouth. Dental implants are safe and have an extremely high success rate in most patients. Additionally, dental implants don't require any extra care than the rest of your teeth--just brush, floss, and maintain regular hygiene appointments with your dentist. Many of our patients find that they go about their life and forget that they even have dental implants in their mouth!

Dental implants are the perfect alternative to having a bridge placed or dealing with dentures. With all of the benefits of a natural tooth, dental implants are the gold standard for patients looking to restore their smile after losing a tooth or teeth from trauma, age, or disease.
