Why should I get dental implants?

Dental implants create a beautiful smile – the smile you deserve! You’ll find renewed confidence in eating, speaking, and sharing your smile with the world. Dental implants also:

• Make you look younger by providing internal facial structure
• Prevent bone loss, which occurs when teeth are missing
• Keep your healthy teeth safe by reducing stress
• Keep your other teeth in correct position
• Free you to eat whatever you want to, whenever you want to
• Can increase your sense of taste
• Free you to speak and laugh with confidence
• Offer a long-term smile solution
• Improve your quality of life

What are the benefits and drawbacks of a traditional bridge?

While a traditional bridge looks good and improves oral function, it does not have the full benefits of dental implants. For instance:

• To place a bridge, healthy teeth must be altered
• This can pose a risk to the attachment teeth
• A bridge does not stop bone loss
• A bridge may last only five to ten years
• Some bridges contain metal, thus detracting from your natural smile

What is the difference between fixed bridges and overdentures?

A fixed bridge and overdentures are attached to dental implants. Fixed bridges are stationery and cannot be removed, whereas overdentures are removable.
