September is Self-Improvement Month, and the perfect time for you to improve your smile and gain confidence in the way you look with dental implants. If you have any missing teeth, implants are a valuable option to help you enjoy a healthier, stronger smile. Dr. Abrahams of Miami Beach, FL is happy to offer all the benefits that come with dental implants to his valuable patients.
A Long-Term Solution
One of the main benefits of dental implants is that they are a long-term solution to a problem that plagues many people. When placed correctly and cared for properly, dental implants can last for a lifetime. This makes up for the original cost by saving you money in the long run.
Jawbone Preservation
When your natural teeth are present, the tooth’s root is placed in the jawbone and stimulates new bone growth. Once that root is removed, the bone will eventually die and crumble. Dentures can be used to replace teeth but do not stimulate the new bone growth required to keep the jawbone strong.
Implants are titanium rods placed directly in the jawbone, and as the bone heals over them they function exactly as a natural root would. This means the bone is preserved and the shape of your face will stay the same with dental implants.
A Natural Look
Implants function exactly as the natural teeth would. This means that you can eat whatever you want without worry about your teeth moving or slipping, which is a common concern with dentures. Dental implants can also be made to match the shade of your remaining teeth, so you get a completely natural appearance that compliments your face.
Better Oral Health
Because dental implants require the same care as natural teeth, it is easier to keep your mouth healthy and clean with them. Simply brush twice a day, floss once a day and regularly see a professional to have your teeth cleaned.
