The Benefits of Dental Implants

The Benefits of Dental Implants

If you take care of your smile, it can last a lifetime, but unfortunately, sometimes dental issues arise that require a tooth extraction, or you may lose teeth due to an injury or aging. In these cases, the best thing to do is get your missing teeth replaced as soon as possible. Dental implants provide a great solution for missing teeth. Dr. Denise Stone is a dentist at Stone Family Dentistry in Charleston, SC. She specializes in dental implant surgery.

Why Dental Implants are a Good Idea

Having missing teeth is not only an embarrassment, but it can also be bad for your oral health because, if left untreated, your gums will begin to deteriorate rapidly. Charleston dental patients have been replacing missing teeth with dental implants for more than 50 years. Here are the benefits:

  • Improving your appearance: One of the main benefits of dental implants is that they restore your facial structure. When many or most of your teeth are missing, your face tends to sag, causing wrinkles around your mouth and making your look older. Dental implants remove the collapsed look and make you look at least ten years younger.
  • Restore your confidence: Because dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, no one will be able to tell the difference. You can smile with confidence and no longer have your life dictated by missing teeth.
  • Avoid bone loss: When you have missing teeth, because there is no root to stimulate jawbone regrowth, the bone will gradually erode. Because dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth, they prevent the degradation of your bone.
  • Maintain the health of existing teeth: When you have implants in the spaces between your natural teeth, this will help protect them and reduce their risk o falling out.
