Why Dental Implants Might be Right for You.
It can help with
Implants
Dental implants are the closest you can get to healthy, natural teeth. They allow you to live the way you want to – confidently eating, smiling, laughing, talking, kissing and enjoying all of your everyday activities without worrying about your teeth.
Upkeep
The daily care of dental implants is very similar to the care of natural teeth. It is recommended that you see your dentist every 3 to 6 months for a professional exam and cleaning.
Preperation
Initial consultation: Dr. Burton will thoroughly examine your mouth, including taking X-rays or 3D images, discuss the various implant options and develop a plan for your implant surgery.
Benefits of Dental Implants
-
Improved appearance. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.
-
Improved speech. With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.
-
Improved comfort. Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
-
Improved self-esteem. Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
Diet
-
Easier eating. Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
-
Convenience. Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
Long Term Health
-
Improved oral health. Dental implants don't require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
-
Durability. Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
