While there are many treatment methods for missing teeth, dental implants have become one of the most sought-after options.  Not only can they enhance your image but also they are practical and convenient. The following are other reasons why you should consider dental implants. 

1.    They look like real teeth

Aesthetically, the implants appear like real teeth. Therefore, if you are missing a tooth, having dental implants will give you a feel of having your teeth back, as the look and feel will be so similar to the missing teeth. They are therefore suitable for patients who have lost multiple teeth or who have a missing tooth in a prominent place.

2.    They do not interfere with the surrounding teeth

Unlike bridges which ride on other teeth, implants are done independently as a single tooth. They will therefore not interfere with your other teeth, a situation that normally contributes to unnecessary pressure on the surrounding teeth. They are self-sufficient.

3.    They are a permanent solution

One of the most important factors is that the implants are permanent and will not be removed like in the case of dentures and fake teeth. They will not as well decay like your other teeth. This is because they are surgically placed in the bone, making them as stable as the other teeth or even more. This means they will function as well as natural teeth.

4.    You will be more comfortable

Comfort and confidence are very important when it comes to dental health. Methods such as dentures can provide less comfort especially if the teeth start moving or falling off. With dental implants, you will not have to go through this struggles, as they are permanently fixed and blend perfectly with the other teeth. When you know your teeth look great, you will have more confidence and feel more comfortable.

5.    They prevent bone loss and enhance jawbone health

Having missing teeth will lead to gaps in the mouth that will affect the jawbone. The bone is normally stimulated by the motion occasioned by chewing using normal teeth. When your body senses a missing tooth, the bone will be underutilized and start to deteriorate and dissolve for lack of activity. Dental implants will reverse this as they will act just like real teeth.

In conclusion, dental implants can allow you to eat as well as you used to and can improve the quality of your life.
