Tired of Living with Missing Teeth? Reasons to Consider Implant Treatment from a Dentist In Your Area

We all want a functional, healthy, attractive smile that we can be comfortable and happy with. Tooth loss doesn’t have to be the end-all of that dream. Dental implants can restore your smile’s original shape and beauty. If you’re tired of living with gaps in your teeth, Dr Joseph Boulos from All Coast Dental can make your smile whole again with high-quality dental implants.

Reasons to Consider Implants

Implants are the most natural way to replace missing teeth, as they have the same structure as natural teeth – from the tip of the crown down to the roots. Implants are, in essence, titanium tooth roots that are tucked into the jawbone through implant surgery. There, through the process of osseointegration, implants will fuse with your bone tissue, becoming a permanent foundation for your new tooth (dental crown) or teeth (implant denture or bridge).

The entire implant process can take four to nine months to complete, as it takes time for your implants to fully integrate with your jaw. But the results are well worth the wait! Here’s what you can expect from implants:

• The Look, Function, and Feel of Natural Teeth

Implants may not be real teeth, but it’s certainly hard to tell the difference! Your porcelain crown, bridge, or denture will closely resemble natural teeth in color, shape, texture, and sheen. They’ll also have the stability of natural teeth for biting and chewing due to their titanium roots. Eating will be a joy again, along with smiling, chatting, and laughing with friends. Having a whole, healthy smile will be something to celebrate!

• Comfort

Unlike dentures, which can grate your gums due to slipping and shifting, implant teeth feel just as comfortable and lifelike as natural teeth. As your new teeth are attached to implant roots that are fused to your jawbone, there’s no chance of them coming loose.  

• Jawbone Support

Tooth loss can lead to loss of jawbone structure and support, as there are no tooth roots to stimulate bone growth. Implants take up that job to keep your bone structure intact. With jawbone support, your face won’t sag, letting you retain a more youthful appearance.

• No Dental Drift

Dental drift is when your remaining teeth start to shift out of alignment to fill the gap left by missing teeth. It’s a common pitfall of tooth loss. Dental drift can alter your bite and interfere with chewing. Implants fill those empty spaces to keep your teeth in alignment, protect your bite, and maintain chewing power.

• Easy Maintenance and Care

Implants don’t require special care, like dentures. Good oral hygiene and routine dental checkups and cleanings will keep your implants in good shape long-term. With proper care, implants can endure 20–25 years or longer, giving you a lifetime of high-quality use.
