So, you’re thinking about getting dental implants from our Gambrills, MD, dentist Dr. Robert Daly, right? If so, you probably started to do a little research into these artificial tooth replacements and why they’ve become so popular. Well, you’ve certainly come to the right place. These false teeth replace the tooth in its entirety, from the roots to the crown. They function differently from other tooth replacement options, and because they do they also offer these really cool benefits,
They Are Just Like Real Teeth
Who doesn’t want a false tooth that acts just like a real one? Most people, right? If you are shaking your head “yes” then you’re going to be hard-pressed to find any other tooth-replacement option that functions and looks just like a real tooth the way dental implants do. While maintaining your own natural teeth is always the most important thing, if tooth loss does happen to you, know that our Gambrills, MD, dental team can provide you with dental implants, the next best thing to your natural teeth.
They Will Stop Bone Loss
Did you know that jawbone deterioration is a complication of untreated tooth loss? Bone loss is a serious issue, but implants can stop this problem in its tracks if placed not long after you’ve lost your tooth. The roots of your teeth stimulate the jawbone, which helps it produce new bone cells so it remains healthy; however, when you lose one or more teeth, the jawbone doesn’t get the stimulation it needs. This causes it to deteriorate. Fortunately, implants are artificial tooth roots that stimulate the jawbone, protecting and preserving it over the years.
They Prevent Teeth from Shifting Around
Another benefit to getting dental implants from our Gambrills, MD, dental team is that we can fill unsightly gaps in your smile while also preventing the rest of your teeth from shifting into these gaps. If you leave gaps in your smile, your teeth will eventually drift into these open spaces, causing crookedness and other misalignment issues. We can prevent this from happening by placing implants in the socket where your missing teeth once were.
They Restore Function
Since implants are made from incredibly durable material such as titanium, you can rest assured that they will restore strength and function back into your jawbone. This means that you can eat what you want and know that your implant can fully and properly chew any foods you love.
