Are you missing one or more teeth? You are not alone – nearly 70 percent of adults between the ages of 35 and 44 are missing at least one of their permanent teeth. 

Dental Implants are a Lifetime Tooth Replacement

Whether you need to replace a single tooth or all of your pearly whites, our Jerome Village dentist in Plain City can provide a permanent solution. Dental implants create a natural-looking, lifelong smile that is comfortable and easy to care for. Today’s dental implants are the ultimate in reliability, cost-effectiveness, and durability. 

Dental implants provide a lifetime of benefits

The benefits of dental implants are long-lasting. Modern dental implants are:

• Strong and stable, so they don’t affect your speech or limit your food choices
• Almost identical to your natural tooth when it comes to form and function
• A beautiful match for your natural teeth 
• Designed to last a lifetime
• Beneficial to your jawbone, in that they support the growth of new bone tissue
• Easy on your other teeth, as dental implants do not require the removal of teeth or special preparation of neighboring teeth

5 Reasons Dental Implants are so Popular

Each year, more than half a million people choose dental implants to replace their missing teeth. A number of factors account for the growing popularity of dental implants. Here are just a few:

1. Implants provide a long-lasting solution

Dental implants are designed to provide a lifetime of smiles. Your dentist places the dental implant, which features a metal post, into your jaw. In a process known as osseointegration, the dental implant fuses with your jawbone to create a sturdy, permanent anchor that holds a dental crown, which looks like a natural tooth.

1. Dental implants help maintain the shape of your face

When you bite and chew, you apply pressure to your teeth. This pressure transfers down the tooth, through the root, and into your jawbone. There, the pressure stimulates the growth of new bone tissue. 

When you lose a tooth, however, your jawbone loses the beneficial pressure that keeps it healthy and strong. In time, your jawbone loses bone tissue and this can change the shape of your face. 

Dental implants act like a natural tooth root that sends beneficial pressure to your jawbone, thereby stimulating bone growth and maintaining the naturally-appealing shape of your face. 

1. Implants are cost-effective

Dental implants require a one-time investment that may seem significant at first glance. When you look deeper, though, you realize that investing in dental implants can save you money in the long run. Other tooth replacement options, such as dentures or dental crowns, wear out and need replacement every 7 to 10 years – and the cost of replacement really adds up over a lifetime. Because they are designed to last a lifetime, dental implants are an affordable “one and done” approach to replacing your missing teeth. 

1. Implants look great

Custom-shaped and shaded to fit naturally into your existing smile, dental implants look like your natural teeth – only better. 

1. Implants promote oral health

Unlike the teeth you were born with, modern implants never decay. And while you’ll still have to brush and floss to maintain healthy gums, oral hygiene with dental implants is much easier than with dentures or dental crowns. What’s more, dental implants do not require reshaping other teeth to support a dental bridge – and leaving healthy teeth intact promotes better long-term oral health.
