Dental implants provide quality, aesthetics, longevity, and durability on a level that no other tooth replacement can. Their strategic placement and root-to-crown restoration make them superior and more popular among regular individuals and even Hollywood’s hottest celebrities. If you are considering this form of treatment to restore your teeth, keep reading to learn more about these prosthetics and which actors, actresses, and musicians rely on them for a confident smile.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Consisting of titanium posts, metal abutments, and customized restorations, dental implants are the only tooth replacement solution that can rebuild the roots of teeth as well as the crowns. Other solutions, like dental bridges and dentures, only replace the visible portions (above the gumline); however, implants fuse with the jawbone to deliver stimulation, which prevents additional tooth loss and facial sagging or collapse.
Once they fuse with the bone, a metal abutment is placed on top. This secures the restoration to the implant post once it is ready. The final crown, bridge, or denture is then attached, creating a complete, fully restored smile that looks natural and functions normally.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?
When compared to regular fixed dental bridges and traditional dentures, the benefits of dental implants cannot be overlooked or dismissed. They include:
- Improved aesthetics that appear natural, so others will see a beautifully blended smile
- Greater confidence in how you look, which can open doors of opportunity personally and professionally
- Better oral health by keeping natural teeth in place instead of drifting and causing misalignment
- Greater stimulation of the jawbone to prevent tooth and bone loss over time
- Longer-lasting teeth that can remain in place for 30+ years or even a lifetime with proper care
- Stronger bite force, so there are virtually no food restrictions
