You may be considering dental implants to replace missing teeth or teeth. Are they right for me? Are dental implants expensive? Are you a suitable candidate? Will your dental implants look natural?
Here are our top ten reasons to get dental implants.
1. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth
After a dental crown is placed with its prosthetic tooth it looks almost natural. The prosthetic tooth fits flush to your gum line, so it is impossible to tell which of your natural teeth are real and which are restorations.
2. Dental implants act like natural teeth
Implants behave just like natural teeth. They provide strength and function unmatched by any other restorations. The dental implant is held in place by your jaw bone and acts much like a natural tooth root.
3. Dental implants can stop bone loss
The side effect of losing a tooth can be that your bone mass around the area of the tooth becomes smaller. This is because there is no longer a root there to encourage the ossification/strengthening of the bone. The process of osseointegration, which is the placing of a dental implant into your jaw bone, stimulates bone growth. This can help prevent bone loss.
4. Dental implants support facial structure
In line with point 3, it is bone loss that can give missing teeth patients a sunken and aged appearance. This in turn can impact the overall structure of their face. Dental implants in Turkey can preserve your facial structure by helping to strengthen your jaw bones.
5. Dental implants can last a lifetime
Dental implants are just like natural teeth and can last a lifetime if taken care of properly.
6. Dental implants are affordable
When you compare the cost of dental implants over the lifetime to other restorations, it is clear that they are quite affordable. Once your mouth has healed and the implants have been placed, we will help you to prevent future problems.
7. Dentures won’t restrict what you can eat
Dentures or tooth loss can lead to many people having to change what they eat.
After dental implants become stable, most people can eat as normal and drink as usual.
8. You can eat, laugh and talk confidently with dental implants
In line with point 7, dentures and tooth loss can impact confidence. Denture wearers frequently complain that missing teeth can impact your ability to smile. They also worry about dentures moving while they are talking or laughing. Implant-retained or dental implants can be fixed by your jaw bone so that they will not move. This allows you to feel confident about your smile and go about your day.
9. Dental implants can be easily taken care of
Dental implants can be taken care of in the same way as natural teeth. Regular dental check-ups, routine hygiene appointments and brushing your teeth at least twice per day are essential. Although many people believe implants do not need to be cleaned because they are not made of organic materials, it is incorrect. Without the proper care, dental implants can still attract plaque, tartar and gum disease, as well as infections, just like natural teeth.
10. Dental implants provide predictable results
A dental implant’s success will depend on how it is placed in your mouth and how much jaw bone you have to support it. The success or failure of a dental implants depends on many factors, including smoking. Implants have a 98% success rate, which means they can be used by most people.
