While there\u2019s no need to change your tooth replacement when you\u2019re perfectly happy with it, dental implants do have some unique advantages you can\u2019t get with any other option. In some cases, they can even pay for themselves! Keep reading to find out whether dental implants are right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Superior Stability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A common struggle patients have with dentures is keeping them in place while eating or speaking. A dental implant, though, is anchored down to the jawbone, much like a dental root. The added support gives any crown, bridge, or denture attached to them far superior stability. With a dental implant restoration, you would never have to worry about your teeth falling out of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jawbone Preservation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Without a dental root to provide stimulation to the jawbone, parts of the bone near empty tooth sockets actually start to deteriorate. This often results in sagging facial features, a tired appearance, and bite-related oral health issues. Dentures can slow down the rate of deterioration, but dental implants are the <em>only <\/em>restoration currently capable of replacing the dental root and <em>preserving <\/em>the jawbone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved Nutrition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many denture-wearers aren\u2019t getting enough nutrients in their diet, whether it be due to food restrictions or difficulty chewing effectively. At most, dentures retain 30% of your natural bite power, which can limit your food options. Dental implants, however, preserve 70% to 80% of your bite power, and are strong enough to handle all of your favorite meals. An implant-supported restoration can help you get more nutrients out of your food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of these benefits, patients with dental implants tend to spend less money on repairs, replacements, and corrective jaw treatments. Considering this, it\u2019s no small wonder they\u2019re often called the \u201cgold standard\u201d of tooth replacements! If you\u2019d like to learn more about how dental implants could benefit you, remember that your dentist is always happy to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caringwaydentistry.com\/bryan-villescas-dds.html\">Dr. Bryan Villescas<\/a> is truly passionate about dentistry, and has been involved in the field since he was just 16 years old!
