What can dental implants offer you? Dental implants are used to help with patients that are missing one or more teeth. Our skilled Mountain Aire Dentistry team recommends dental implants for: 1) renewing your confidence; 2) giving you a result that feels like your natural teeth; 3) offering you a permanent solution that, unlike dentures, can’t get misplaced; 4) preserving jawbone;  and 5) improving your ability to speak and chew. Schedule a free consultation today to discover if you are a candidate for this amazing procedure.

Renew Your Confidence with Dental Implants

Missing teeth can cause you social discomfort and physical discomfort. Trying to navigate through normal speaking and chewing is severely hindered when you are missing teeth. When we aren’t as confident in the appearance of our smile, we share it less too. Missing teeth rock our confidence and our ability to interact normally and confidently with others. Before the entrance of dental implant technology, the standard solution for missing teeth were dental bridges or dentures.  While dental bridges and dentures are sometimes the only option for certain oral conditions/problems, they don’t provide you with all the many benefits that dental implants can. The natural appearance of dental implants, and the natural functionality, dispels anxieties that existed before the dental implant.  Dental implants are screwed into the bone of your jaw so they aren’t going to move, fall out, or force you to change your eating habits.

Get Results that Look and Function Like Real Teeth

Dental implants look and function like real teeth. The implant begins with a titanium screw, which becomes the anchoring base for your replacement tooth or teeth. This piece of metal takes the place of a natural tooth’s root.  After implantation, the metal is capable of fusing completely with the bone of your jaw. Unlike a bridge, the dental implant is firmly rooted and will not wiggle or work its way loose. The dental implants team at Mountain Aire Dentistry can replace a single tooth, or fill in a gap where multiple teeth are missing. The implant(s) is/are designed to match the color of neighboring teeth.  Dentures are inconvenient, uncomfortable, and affect the way you speak, while dental implants restore your prior functionality and vibrant smile.

A Fixed Solution that Allows You to Eat Normally

The durability of dental implants means that you can depend on them to function like your natural teeth providing you a fixed solution that isn’t going to move or slip.  The ability to eat foods you may have avoided before will provide you freedoms you have been missing. When a replacement tooth is installed over a titanium anchor, it acts and feels just like a real tooth. The dental implant is fused to the bone and is very strong. There are no limitations on what you can drink or eat, aside from materials that would damage your natural teeth. You will not have to worry about dentures that slip or bridges that wiggle when you eat sticky candies.  And, unlike dentures, you don’t have to remove your dental implants so you don’t run the risk of misplacing or losing them.

Preserve your Jawbone

When you lose a tooth, you probably don’t think about how that loss will affect the health of your jaw. Unfortunately, since natural tooth roots stimulate the jawbone to produce new, healthy cells, the loss of a tooth affects the strength of your jaw. The jawbone begins to decrease in density and length, causing your face structure to cave in and shrink. As one would guess, when your face structure shrinks it affects your overall appearance and can make you look older than you really are.  The good news is, although dental bridges and dentures do not stimulate your jawbone, dental implants can!  Osseointegration is one of the amazing results of the dental implant process. The bone and tissue surrounding the dental implant actually begin to fuse and grow around it. The titanium from the implant is biocompatible–the bone cells attach to the surface of the implant–securing it into place. Since dental implants stimulate the production of new bone cells, your jawbone will maintain its shape and support your good oral health goals.

Improve Your Ability to Speak and Chew

Dental implants fuse with your jawbone allowing them to look and function just like real teeth! This amazing benefit restores your ability to speak and chew normally, just as you did before the loss of your teeth or tooth.  Teeth are a necessary part of the speaking process. Your tongue uses them to form sounds and to shape the vowels and consonants that form the words you use everyday. And, as discussed earlier, teeth perform a vital role in the digestion process, helping to chew the food your body need to absorb.  Unlike dentures, that can slip when you eat, or that require that you limit yourself to soft foods, dental implants give you the freedom to eat freely and without anxiety.
