How Dental Implants Can Benefit Your Whole Smile

How Dental Implants Can Benefit Your Whole Smile

Dental Implant TeethDiscover the unique and wonderful benefits that dental implants can offer you.

 

When it comes to handling tooth loss it’s important that you weigh all the options to determine the best approach for replacing your missing tooth (or teeth). Our Glenview, IL, dentists understand just how important finding the right tooth replacement is.

There is a reason many of our adult patients are turning to dental implants to restore their smile. After all, they offer some advantages that other tooth replacements can’t. Dental implants are tiny metal posts that our Glenview, IL, general dentist will place into the jawbone where the roots of your missing tooth once were.

That’s right; dental implants actually replace tooth roots. They even function just like them. Of course, the metal implant isn’t the part that people will see. We will have to place a dental crown over top of the implant to complete the restoration.

How can dental implants improve my oral health?

Sure, dental implants will fill that gap in your smile with a restoration that looks and feels just like a real tooth (no one will be able to tell that you have an implant) and yes you will feel more confident in your new and improved appearance, but there are also some health benefits that dental implants can also offer you:

Prevent Bone Loss

This is one of the biggest benefits to getting dental implants. While other tooth replacement options will give you back a full smile, they can’t actually prevent bone loss. One complication of untreated tooth loss is bone loss. The jawbone deteriorates because it is no longer getting the proper amount of stimulation it needs from all of the roots of the teeth. To combat this, we will place the implant into the jawbone. This will not provide the bone with the stimulation it needs to maintain its strength and density.

Prevent Teeth from Shifting Around

If you don’t treat your tooth loss, over time the rest of your smile will begin to shift into those open spaces between teeth. This can lead to crowding, uneven spacing, crookedness and other misalignment issues that can only be corrected through orthodontic treatment.

Here in Glenview, IL, our dental team is ready to help get your smile back on track, no matter whether you want to get dental implants or in-office teeth whitening. Our cosmetic and emergency dentists are here to make sure you get the care you need, so don’t hesitate to call Family Dental Center for the care your smile deserves.
