The advantages of dental implants vs. dental bridges for patients in the Alpharetta area
Your teeth serve many important functions. Among the most important is the ability to bite and chew, which begins the healthy digestion process. When teeth are missing, it is important to replace them quickly in order to restore this function, prevent more problems, and the loss of additional teeth. While there are many options for tooth replacement, dental implants are excellent restorations for patients in Alpharetta who are looking for a permanent, comfortable solution. Dental implants provide patients with a stable and strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Dental implants can give patients back their smiles.
In addition to restoring functionality and beauty to the mouth, dental implants have several very important benefits.
Longevity
Dental implants can last a lifetime for many patients. It is important to maintain daily oral hygiene and routine dental visits for exams and cleanings to extend the life of your implants.
Value
Dental implants can cost more than some other alternatives such as removable dentures; however, dental implants maintain their value longer because of their longevity. When you consider the cost of replacing a bridge or removable dentures in the future, dental implants often end up costing less over the course of time.
Strength
Dental implants are extremely strong and durable. The implants are placed into the jaw and they serve as artificial tooth roots. The implants integrate with and attach to the jawbone creating a supportive foundation for strong beautiful restorations.
Beauty
Gaps in your smile can be unsightly. Dental implants can be topped with dental crowns, which are made out of porcelain. Porcelain can be color-matched to existing teeth and maintains the same characteristics of tooth enamel for a natural appearance.
Low-maintenance
Caring for dental implants is the same as caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing along with twice-yearly general check-ups can ensure the mouth remains free of gum disease. With proper oral care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
More patients than ever are turning to dental implants for their amazing benefits and results. If you are ready to restore your smile with the help of dental implants, call the Atlanta Center for Dental Health today at (866) 687-1992 to schedule your consultation.
