By placing an implant, together with the root, it is possible to mimic all the natural teeth functions. A firm tooth base allows normal chewing. One of the other implant advantages is that they look natural and do not make you feel uncomfortable.
Dental implants preserve the integrity of your face structure
Face structure remains intact because implants prevent bone resorption that happens after tooth extraction. This is especially important when all teeth are missing. If implants are not placed in the lower jaw to preserve the jawbone, the lower part of your face deteriorates.
Your smile is prettier if your teeth look natural
Even if you are missing only one tooth, the results are far better and longer lasting with implants than with dental bridges. It is especially important to prevent resorption in the front jaw because aesthetic results depend largely on it. To compensate for lost teeth you will not have to endanger other teeth that are healthy.
The traditional method of dental bridge making implies that you have to reduce neighbouring teeth that may be completely healthy. Sometimes we might even have to remove the tooth nerve. Healthy enamel is removed from those teeth and it can never be made up for. Because of this, long term health of these teeth is compromised as they suffer the load of bridge bearers for the missing tooth. Partial prosthesis have little metal hooks with which they hang on to the remaining teeth and push them forward and backward. After some time these teeth might have to be extracted because they could get loose. Replacing of missing tooth with bridges or crowns that rest on implants does not require reducing of other teeth so it is the safest method for your teeth.
Easier maintaining of hygiene
It is harder to clean food remains under dental bridges than around crowns that are based on implants. Also, it is easier to maintain hygiene of dental implants than it is with dentures.
Self-confidence factor
People that have implants enjoy their advantages and claim that they are more self-confident, more satisfied with their appearance and are aware that they have done a lot for their health.
