Tooth loss makes your smile appear unhealthy and incomplete. Losing natural teeth also risks oral health and makes chewing much more difficult. To remedy these issues, Dr. Payam Bostani from Dr. Bostani’s Advanced Dental in Burbank, California, encourages you to replace your missing teeth with dental implants. As implants can last a lifetime, investing in dental implants can have a lasting positive impact on oral health and well-being.
Learning about the implant process is essential to understand why implants are a good investment. Implants are unique in replacing your tooth’s crown and roots, rejuvenating your smile. Implant treatment requires surgery to place the implant (a titanium post) into your jaw to replace missing tooth roots. Over several months, the implant will fuse with your jawbone to become the support structure for your new tooth. Once the fusing process is finished, Dr. Bostani will secure a crown, bridge, or denture to complete your smile.
While implants may cost more than traditional dentures or bridges, their benefits far outweigh the initial investment. The following attributes make implants worth the cost:
Dental implants mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. Like natural teeth, implant restorations have a stable support system in the form of implant tooth roots. The implants will keep your new teeth firm and stable when you talk, laugh, or chew. Dr. Bostani will customize your restorations to match the features of your natural teeth to give your grin an attractive, realistic appearance. Porcelain crowns, dentures, and bridges will look so much like natural teeth that it will be hard to tell the difference.
Implant restorations give you the same biting and chewing power as natural teeth because they’re anchored in place with artificial tooth roots. Whether dining out, chatting with friends, or making a presentation at work, you’ll never experience the embarrassment of your new teeth slipping, shifting, or coming loose.
Bone loss is an unfortunate byproduct of losing natural teeth, as no tooth roots stimulate your jaw. Lack of jawbone support can cause your face to wrinkle or sag, making you look much older than your age. Implants stimulate bone growth to remedy bone loss issues. With strong jawbone support, your face will retain its structure for a younger-looking appearance.
With proper care, implants can last 25 to 30 years or even a lifetime! Since your procedure doesn’t have to be repeated, implants make a sound investment in the long-term future of your smile.
