Benefits of Dental Implants![]() You Probably Qualify for ImplantsYep, chances are you are either already eligible for dental implants or could be made eligible with the help of treatments like cleanings and bone grafts. Whether you are missing one tooth or all of your teeth, there is a type of implant that can help you. You just need to have healthy teeth, gums, and bones. Here are other ways you can prepare for implants. You can also read up on the implant procedure. Implants Support Your Long-Term HealthOnly dental implants can stop the bone loss that starts immediately after losing a tooth. Dentures can actually accelerate this process and erode your gums as well since they are directly supported by your gums and the underlying bone. Read about dental implants vs. dentures and All on 4 vs dentures. Dental bridges, on the other hand, can require the teeth on either side of the bridge to be filed down to act as anchors. Read more about Dental implants and your overall health. The Most Affordable OptionYes, most implants are actually more expensive when directly compared to other options such as dentures or a dental bridge, but this price does not take into account how different options stack up over time. Bridges will need to be replaced every few years as wear and tear take their toll. Dentures will also need to be regularly replaced, plus they have the added recurring cost of cleaning supplies and other necessary maintenance. And since dentures can damage your long-term oral health, this means more appointments and more treatments, all of which add up.

No matter what material you choose, dental implants look the best alongside your natural teeth, blending in so that no one can ever tell the difference.
