Why Do Dental Implants Offer So Many Advantages?
Dental implants, unlike dentures, are inserted into your jaw bone and after integration, function just as your tooth and tooth root would. This not only provides you with a secure, worry-free restoration, it also preserves bone health.
Dental implants are now the generally preferred tooth replacement treatment over partial dentures and fixed bridges. Traditional treatments either rest on your gums, as with removable dentures, or rely upon adjacent teeth to serve as anchors for fixed bridges. Dental implants are placed into the jaw bone, offering a highly successful, long-term replacement option.
Research indicates that dental implants yield better long-term results for tooth replacement. Titanium implants are surgically placed into the jaw bone, where the implant fuses with the existing natural bone in a process called osseointegration. Properly integrated implants do not slip or make embarrassing noises and are more difficult to distinguish from your natural teeth. Because they mirror tooth and root structure, implants provide stimulation for the jawbone, preventing bone loss, while their titanium composition makes them resistant to decay. These factors contribute to the long-term success of dental implants and subsequent overall oral health.
Dental implant technology has been around for over 20 years. Not only does the technology continue to develop and improve, but it has also stood the test of time! Patients who received implants in the ’80s and ’90s continue to report optimum functionality of their implants. With proper care and hygiene, dental implants are truly a life-long solution for missing teeth.
Replacing missing teeth immediately after tooth loss is the best way to avoid further complications, but if you have postponed restoration for any reason and have lost bone volume, Drs. Kantor and DiGiacinto, expert dental implant dentists in Mt. Kisco, NY, can still provide you with a beautiful, permanent smile. We offer treatments, like bone grafting and sinus lifts, to restore the foundation needed for the successful placement of your dental implants.
