Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard of restorative treatments because of their durability and longevity. A permanent solution to replace missing teeth, the implants are placed during an outpatient surgery that anchors the implant to the jawbone. The benefits of dental implants include:

  • Dental implants function like your natural teeth helping you speak and eat
  • Dental implants are made to blend in perfectly with your natural teeth
  • When properly maintained, dental implants can last a lifetime
  • Dental implants help protect your oral health, including preventing shrinkage of the jaw

In addition to that, dental implants provide benefits such as bone retention, bite preservation, and an unrestricted diet! Implants also last a long time since they naturally integrate with your bone.
