What are the benefits of dental implants?

[Allen Gotora]

Aside from restoring your smile, dental implants also have other benefits. Some of them include:

• They look and feel like your natural teeth
• Implants function just like normal teeth
• They restore your ability to chew
• They help retain your natural face shape
• The procedure would not require adjacent or surrounding teeth to be filed down
• Implants help maintain the structure of the jawbone
• Implant roots don’t develop cavities and are usually stain-resistant
• Implants are permanent so you won’t have to deal with embarrassing situations normally experienced by denture wearers
• Implants can last for a long time given proper care and attention
• Implants help protect healthy bone in the jaw
• Implants, as compared to other restoration methods, have more predictable results and have a higher success rate (95-98%)

With a high success rate among patients, it’s no wonder that more and more people are getting dental implants to replace their missing teeth.
