As a Periodontal practice, we aim to prevent and treat periodontal disease from progressing. If not treated early enough, periodontal disease may lead to tooth loss, and still remains the leading cause of tooth loss. Thanks to modern technologies, dental implants are a great alternative to consider when this occurs.
Here are the Top 10 Reasons to Consider Dental Implants:
1. Implants feel and look like natural teeth.
2. You may be able to eliminate your removable complete or partial denture by placing implants.
3. Implants are long lasting.
4. There will be less long term cost with implants. Implants last longer than fixed bridges.
5. Implants don’t decay.
6. Implants are easier to take care of than a bridge. For single implants, there is no need for a floss threader.
7. Adjacent teeth are filed down to make a bridge. These teeth, over time, may need root canals from being filed down or decay under the bridge.
8. Placing implants stop teeth from shifting.
9. Implants stop the bone from shrinking and bone is retained.
10. By placing implants you could get better retention on your denture.
