Why dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement

Dental implants are quality titanium posts that are made to act as tooth replacement solutions. They are a reliable way to replace one or more teeth and are highly recommended by our team at Ten Mile Smiles in Meridian, Idaho. Our dentists are here to help you determine if you are a proper candidate and can benefit from this or other restorative procedures available at our facility.

Why might I choose dental implants?

Dental implants remain a reliable tooth replacement option that many patients choose to move forward with. They offer several benefits, which make them a highly desirable choice for many patients who speak to our dental team. These include:

  • Longevity. Dental implants are designed to last patients for decades with proper care. This includes routine visits and evaluations with the dental team.
  • Maintenance of natural bone. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants can strengthen the surrounding bone structure in your jaw. This is because they stimulate bone growth through osseointegration which maintains the jawbone and avoids the sunken appearance of the chin and jaw associated with long-term denture wearers.
  • Natural look and feel. Quality dental implants look and feel like natural teeth due to their titanium posts that replicate the roots of your teeth. You also have the flexibility to choose various materials for your crown, though we often recommend using porcelain. Porcelain is strong, reliable, and can be customized in color, shape, and size to ensure a natural-looking repair.
  • Easy to take care of. Implants are cared for just like your regular teeth, eliminating special care or attention that might be required, like alternative treatments such as partial or full dentures.
  • Versatility. Dental implants replace one, several, or all the teeth in the dental arch, depending on how they are utilized. This includes placing several implants along the arch to hold a full denture in place with implant-supported dentures.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are titanium roots, that are replaced with in the jawbone to resemble a tooth or group of teeth. A screw is inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then attached to the screw to become the new tooth or teeth. They can be used to support dental prosthesis including crowns, dentures, and bridges. Today’s treatments are so natural looking, no one will know you had surgery. There’s approximately a 95% success rate for all implants. With modern advances in dentistry, some implants can be restored immediately with life like all-porcelain crowns. For more details ask your dentist.
