Other dental restorations often require surrounding teeth to be filed down, but this is not the case for prepping the area for dental implants. You can rest assured that the nearby teeth will remain healthy and intact.
DURABILITY
DentalWorks – Clearwater uses restorations, such as bridges, dentures, or crowns that are custom made from high-quality materials. The metal post implanted in your jawbone is made out of titanium, a material that cannot deteriorate. Dental implants allow you to eat whatever foods you choose without having to worry about damaging your new restoration.
THEY LOOK LIKE NATURAL TEETH
One of the biggest concerns that patients have on the subject of any dental restoration is if the results will appear natural. A great thing about implant-supported restorations is that they blend in with the color and shape of your existing teeth if they are crafted from high-quality materials by experts in a dental laboratory. The results will be so seamless that your friends and family won’t be able to tell which are your actual teeth and which are restorations (unless you decide to tell them).
COST
The price of dental implants may seem high compared to other options, such as bridges or dentures; however, implants are typically less expensive in the long run. Oftentimes, bridges and dentures need to be altered and/or replaced, so the expenses can add up quickly. That doesn’t even include the cost of adhesives (for ill-fitting dentures) and tablets for overnight soaking. Dental implants are made from a durable material and built to last a long time.
NO CHAFING
While other common restorations (such as, crowns, bridges, and dentures) generally start to feel loose over time, a good dentist should make sure that your implanted post is completely integrated before they will attach your custom restoration. The post needs a few months to integrate with your jawbone and gums, but once it does, it creates a great foundation for the attached restoration. If you do notice any looseness, schedule an appointment with your dentist in Clearwater, IN to have your restoration adjusted.
NO SPECIAL CLEANING REQUIREMENTS
Unlike other restoration] alternatives (for example, dentures), dental implants are taken care of and cleaned just like your natural teeth. They don’t need to be soaked overnight, and you won’t be required to put on denture glue in the morning. You don’t need to follow any special cleaning routine for the implant. Patients should continue to brush and floss on a regular basis to prolong the life span of the implant. While the special materials used to make your restoration are more stain resistant compared to your natural enamel, they can become discolored, so always brush after having dark-colored foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and berries.
A BOOSTED LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE
A person’s confidence and self-esteem could take a hit if they suspected others were judging them because of having missing teeth. Dental implants can allow these insecurities to be things of the past. You will probably find yourself smiling more, laughing more freely, and eating out with friends without hesitation once you’ve gotten used to your implant-supported restoration.
