Benefits of Dental Implants

The benefits of dental implants are unparalleled, providing patients with increased security and stability. These small titanium posts can support a variety of custom restorations, including crowns, bridges, and dentures. In addition, dental implants replace missing tooth roots, stimulating the jaw to prevent bone atrophy. Dr. Eugene F. Morris and Dr. Armando Gama provide comprehensive care at Oral Surgical Associates in Missoula, MT, and can evaluate your smile to determine if dental implants are right for you.

The Role of Dental Implants

Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone and mimic the roots of natural teeth. Some patients only need one implant to replace a single missing tooth, while others may need multiple implants to replace several consecutive missing teeth or an entire dental arch. Once the implant posts have fused with your jawbone during a process known as osseointegration, your dentist can attach a customized prosthesis for a natural-looking smile.

Unrivaled Advantages

Dental implants are recognized as the very best solution to tooth loss. For patients who are healthy enough to undergo surgery and otherwise considered to be good candidates, the restorative treatment offers a variety of benefits. These include:

• More comfortable and secure fit: Since dental implants are embedded in the jawbone, your restoration will not slip out of place when you eat or speak. This also means you can avoid irritation to the gums and cheeks, as well as the need for dental adhesives and metal clasps.

• Durable and long-lasting restoration: Today's practitioners can use high-quality materials to design and fabricate dental crowns, bridges, and dentures, so you can enjoy long-lasting results.

• Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime, so you can feel confident in your improved dental function and youthful-looking appearance.

• Improved aesthetics: Implant-retained restorations are designed to mimic the translucency of your natural teeth for a beautiful, flawless smile.

• Preservation of the jawbone: As implant posts fuse to the jawbone and mimic tooth roots, they stimulate the nerves in the jaw and help prevent bone degeneration. This process can preserve the natural contours of the face and help you to avoid the telltales signs of tooth loss, including sunken cheeks and puckered lips.
