Whether missing teeth are the result of periodontitis, tooth decay or injury, dental implants are the safest and most effective way to restore the cosmetic look of your mouth, but more importantly, the health of your mouth. Apart from being known as one of the most reliable and durable dental treatments, dental implants have the ability to replace a missing tooth gap without harming the teeth located adjacent to them.

Dental implants can be used to solve two problems at once. When a person loses a tooth, the bone corresponding to it tends to suffer from shrinkage. In order to ease this condition implants provide dentists with a way to put in a new tooth and save the corresponding bone from further shrinkage. The implant then builds a solid foundation for your mouth. Biological dentistry guarantees that the materials used to manufacture your dental implants will be the most biocompatible and safest for your overall health.

Keep in mind that even though your dental implants will not be affected by decay or cavities, you will still have to care for them the same way you would care for your original teeth. You can also eat any hard food items without fear of them breaking.

The Danger of Bridgework
If you have old bridgework or are considering new bridges, keep in mind that bridges do not preserve dental health. Chewing on bridgework creates too much pressure on the bridge’s false tooth, making the jawbone wear away underneath it at an increased rate. This bone loss makes the jaw thinner and weaker which in-turn makes your jaw-line look older. Bridgework is also difficult to clean. Implants are much easier to keep clean and they do not decay.
