Can You Benefit from Dental Implants?

Corey Mazer, DDS at Old Milton Dental in Alpharetta, GA wants our patients to understand the value of dental implants. As a preferred dentist in Alpharetta, we are often asked about dental implants and many patients wonder if there is more benefit from dental implants than alternatives like dentures or bridges. Let’s take some time now to understand the significant benefit from dental implants and the value of implant dentistry.


Understanding Implants

You may not know that the loss of a tooth triggers a series of changes in the mouth, and they are rarely healthy or beneficial. For example, when you lose a tooth, you lose the roots and the crown. This creates a gap in your teeth and your remaining teeth may begin to shift into new positions because of it. This forces your natural bite to change and that can lead to wear and tear on the teeth and changes in the way your jaw functions.

So, one of the ways you can benefit from dental implants is that they will replace the missing tooth, preventing any movement and the damages that can result.

Of course, another benefit from dental implants is that it prevents your jaw and gum tissue from receding. The loss of a tooth sends a message to the body to begin absorbing some of the bone where that tooth once was, and your gum tissue is going to shrink and tighten. Lose several teeth, and you may see the appearance of your jaw and face change along with that movement of the teeth.

The loss of teeth also means your diet has to change. Without teeth, you are less able to consume hard or tough foods, and that can mean that crucial fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains will have to be eliminated. This means that another benefit from dental implants is that your overall health and quality of life can be preserved by using them.

Finally, implants can be used in several ways. They replace individual teeth, but can also support full dentures as well as bridges. This means they can be a cost effective way to preserve gum and bone without investing in a huge number of implants.
