If you\u2019ve been looking into replacing missing teeth for any time at all, you\u2019ve probably heard something about how incredible dental implants<\/a> are. They\u2019re one of the top methods of tooth restoration that dentists recommend, and one of the most celebrated among patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But are they really all that they\u2019re cracked up to be? If you want to know why so many people call dental implants the pinnacle of tooth replacement, here are a few good reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Addressing Bone Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been missing a tooth for a while, you might have noticed that you have started to develop wrinkles around your mouth, or that people have commented that you don\u2019t look as friendly as you used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That might have something to do with bone loss. When you lose a tooth, the area of the jaw that once held it can begin to shrink from disuse, like a muscle that hasn\u2019t been worked in a while. This gives the face less support, and leads to premature aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dentures and bridges replace teeth but don\u2019t do anything to prevent bone loss. Dental implants, however, stimulate the jaw and can support its overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Sticking Around For Longer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentures and bridges are both very durable if you maintain them well. These restorations routinely last anywhere from ten to fifteen years when you take care of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As great as that sounds, it isn\u2019t anything when compared to dental implants. Over 95% of them are successful at 20 years, and it\u2019s common for them to last as long as thirty with diligent care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Get a Bigger Bite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentures are one of the other most popular methods of tooth restoration and can afford people a lot of the things that they\u2019ve been missing since they lost teeth. However, dentures also only have the gums to support them\u2014as a result, studies have shown that they can only restore around 30% of people\u2019s original bite force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants, on the other hand, can make full use of the jaw for support. As a result, they\u2019ve been demonstrated to restore up to 70% of someone\u2019s original bite, allowing people to enjoy all the foods they love again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, dental implants have absolutely earned the title of the \u201cpinnacle of tooth replacement.\u201d If you\u2019re looking to replace your teeth, they might just be the perfect thing for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
