Why Choose Dental Implants?

Loosing teeth can occur from old age, poor oral hygiene, or from a variety of accidents that result in a forceful impact to the mouth. For those who have lost teeth or are going to have teeth removed dental implants can be used to prevent a gap in your beautiful smile. At Affordable Dental Associates, one area that we specialize in is dental implant treatments. These implants can be greatly beneficial to our patients because they are effective, reliable and are easy to put in. 

 Normally when people lost a tooth or multiple teeth, their only options were to either get a bridge or some type of denture. Nowadays with the new advancements in dental medicine such as dental implants, people now have another alternative to choose from. Dental implants act as a tooth root for replacement teeth. Often made from a strong metal like titanium, these implants are placed within a patients' jaw bone and then firmly attached to a dental prosthesis that matches his or her natural teeth. Although this may appear like an extensive dental procedure, it is not. Our dental implant treatments only take about 3 to 5 visits to complete. 

 Why choose dental implants? The biggest advantage of getting implants is that they are permanent. Unlike dentures or bridges that need to be removed during meals or stuck in place with messy adhesives, implants will stay in place like natural teeth. You are free to eat your normal diet without pain or worry that your prosthetic teeth are moving out of place. Another advantage of implants staying in place is that your speech will not be affected as it would be with poor-fitting dentures. Also, unlike bridges, dental implants can effectively improve your bite without damaging any neighboring teeth. With all of the benefits dental implants have to offer, you owe it to yourself to check out our treatments and see if they are a good fit for you!
