Benefits of Dental Implants vs. Other Tooth Replacements

No one wants to deal with the embarrassment and discomfort of lost teeth. Dental implants are fast becoming the most popular choice to replace missing teeth. This is because they are secure, durable, and look just like natural teeth. Dr. Julie Camp-Tome, Dr. Glen Barker, and Dr. Benjamin Thomas Wietecha are dental specialists at Hilton Head Dental Team on Hilton Head Island, SC. They can meet with you to discuss your options for dental implants.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants have numerous benefits over other tooth replacement solutions. Patients prefer them because:

  • Functionality: Unlike dentures, dental implants are permanently fixed in place. This means that you don’t have to take them out to clean them and they won’t move or click when you are eating, speaking, or yawning. You can eat any food you like with dental implants. Because they are implanted into your jawbone, they stimulate bone regrowth.
  • Aesthetics: Dental implants have the appearance of natural teeth, so no one will know that they are not real. Also, because they preserve your jaw, you won’t have to worry about sunken cheeks or sagging lips. Your natural facial structure will be retained.
  • Oral Health: By replacing missing teeth, dental implants reduce the risk of the build-up of bacteria, and infection in the gaps left behind from lost teeth. Unlike dental bridges, when you are replacing a single tooth, you will not need the adjacent teeth to be touched.
