Missing teeth can greatly impact lifestyle. People missing teeth tend to be less healthy, have lower self-confidence, and are often less active. Missing teeth can lead to bone loss, which over time can increases problems with appearance and health.

Dental implants address the problems of missing teeth and bone loss and can last a lifetime.

Dental bridges and partial dentures do not prevent bone loss. Dental implantation is the only tooth replacement solution that can protect your dental health by simulating your natural tooth and tooth root structure.

Here’s a summary of the benefits of dental implants:

• Life changing. Dental implants can restore an active lifestyle. You can swim, ski, give business presentations and eat what you like without worrying about teeth slipping or even falling out.
• Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. And because dental implants are anchored into your jaw, they can last a lifetime.
• Improved speech. With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that your dentures might slip.
• Improved comfort. Because dental implants are fixed and function almost like natural teeth, they eliminate the discomfort caused by removable dentures.
• Easier eating. Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain or discomfort.
• Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
• Improved oral health. Dental implants don't require grinding down of adjacent healthy teeth, as with a traditional, tooth-supported bridge. Because nearby teeth need not be altered to support an implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving your long-term oral health.
• Durability. Dental implants will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
• Convenience. Removable dentures can be uncomfortable, inconvenient and embarrassing. They are inconvenient to clean and often require the use of messy pastes and creams to keep them from slipping. Dental implants are fixed in place and provide a solution as close to natural teeth as possible.
