Find out if you could benefit from getting this popular tooth replacement.

After losing a tooth the wisest decision you can make it to replace it. Of course, the sooner you can replace your tooth the better for the long-term health of your smile. No matter if you are missing, one, two, several, or even all of your teeth, our Naples, FL, dentists Drs. Richard and Maria Linden can restore your smile with dental implants. Wondering what kind of benefits this artificial tooth can offer you?

Here are the top benefits of getting dental implants,

Prevent Bone Loss

One of the most serious issues associated with tooth loss is the deterioration of the jawbone. This occurs over time as a result of missing tooth roots. Since the jawbone isn’t getting the stimulation it needs it will begin to lose density and shrink. This will also cause changes to your face including sunken cheeks and a receding jawline; however, our Naples, FL, restorative dentists can replace the missing roots of your teeth with implants, which will stimulate the jawbone in the same way and prevent bone loss.

Prevent Shifting Teeth

If you leave gaps in your smile and you don’t replace your missing teeth you better believe that the rest of your natural teeth will shift into those open gaps. This is because, as the jawbone shrinks there isn’t as much room for your teeth. This means that teeth will gradually move into those gaps, which can cause even more gaps between teeth, as well as crowding and crookedness.

Feel More Confident

The only person who will ever be able to tell that you have one or more dental implants is you (unless, of course, you go ahead and show off your implants). The only visible portion of the implant is a dental crown that is custom-made to resemble the color, shape, and size of your missing tooth so that it blends right in. We pride ourselves on creating dental restorations that look and feel just like the real thing.

Restore Your Entire Smile

Implants aren’t just for people who are missing a single tooth; implants are for any healthy adult who is missing at least one tooth. In fact, for traditional implants, we can place anywhere from six to eight implants along the upper or lower jawbone to replace all of your missing teeth. There are also dental implant systems that only require four dental implants to replace all of your missing teeth. Even if you are a current denture wearer you could still benefit from getting dental implants to support your false teeth (it’s never too late).
