Whether you have lost your teeth to injury, decay, or disease, you need a tooth replacement that looks, feels, and performs like the natural teeth you just lost. One that neither compromises your lifestyle nor keeps you on the edge whenever using your teeth. If you are missing teeth, traditional bridges and dentures may do the trick, but they aren’t ideal for everyone. Dental implants are the real deal for replacing missing teeth because they closely match your natural teeth, from looks to performance.

At Best Smiles, you can count on Dr. Naveen Chennupati and the team to successfully install dental implants to create a permanent and aesthetically appealing solution to your lost teeth.

BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS

Dental implants are designed to replace your entire tooth structure from the crown to the root. After surgically inserting a screw-like titanium post in your bone, it fuses with the jawbone to firmly anchor a crown or any other tooth restoration.

Since dental implants are designed to feel and perform like your natural teeth, they offer numerous benefits, including:

  • Bone preservation: Just like your muscles, your jawbone “wastes away” if it isn’t put into use. When chewing and grinding, your teeth transfer the biting force to your jawbone, which encourages growth. Without teeth, your jawbone lacks stimulation, which causes deterioration. Like natural teeth, an implant stimulates your jawbone to prevent bone loss.
  • Durability: Dental implants replace your lost teeth for life. The only part of the implant that requires replacement every 15 years is the crown.
  • Natural-looking: Dental implants don’t feel or look like a tooth replacement. Once in place, they are virtually indistinguishable from the rest of the teeth.
  • Easy to maintain: Remember when we said you need a tooth replacement that doesn’t change your lifestyle? A dental implant does precisely that. Dental implants don’t alter your oral hygiene. Like your natural teeth, taking care of your implants needs brushing, flossing, and bi-annual dental appointments.
  • Dental implants don’t affect the nearby teeth: Dental implants are stand-alone tooth replacements. Unlike traditional bridges, they don’t affect the integrity or stability of the neighboring teeth.
