Dental implants offer a way to treat tooth less that is very different from traditional bridges or removable dentures. We can address minor and severe tooth loss, and you can enjoy results that last far longer than traditional dental prosthetics! In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about the unique benefits dental implants offer our patients.
Long-Lasting Tooth Replacement
With a traditional bridge, you are looking at 10 to 5 years before the prosthetic needs to be replaced. The same goes for dentures, as removable options need to be replaced every 5 to 10 years on average. This is because over time, the lack of tooth roots means the gradual loss of mass and density in the jaw, necessitating replacement as the jaw ridge changes shape.
But with dental implants, we actually insert the implants into the jaw, where it acts like a new root. Since the body recognizes it as such, this means the loss of mass and density is halted, and your jawbone and facial structure remains intact. Your new tooth can last for decades, maybe even a lifetime, with proper care and attention!
A Lifelike Appearance
Now that you know about the root portion, what about the part that people see when you smile? What about the part that ensures a durable chewing surface and the ability to enjoy your favorite foods again? For an individual one, we will add an abutment to the post that extends above the gum line and enables us to attach a crown. The crown will be custom-made to look natural, blend with your smile and endure your proper bite balance. If you have more severe tooth loss, then multiple posts could support a bridge. With as little as four dental implants, we could secure a fixed denture that never requires removal for cleaning and soaking. These also never slip when you eat or drink!
Same-Day Placement
Our team can secure new ones in only one visit. With same-day placement, we will have planned the procedure in detail from previous visits, so when you arrive, we can secure the new roots and attach the restoration or prosthetic in the same sitting, so you leave with a full smile.
