The Five Major Benefits of Dental Implants- Don't Wait!!!


FIVE MAJOR BENEFITS OF DENTAL IMPLANTS!!! Don't Wait!

Dental Implants Provide Improved Comfort and Functionality

Replacing your teeth with an implant-supported restoration enables your dental function to be fully restored. It is the only tooth replacement solution available that is designed to replace the entire tooth from root to crown. An implant-supported restoration is reinforced by dental implants in the jawbone that will keep your remaining teeth from shifting out of place. Unstable teeth can result in dental pain, TMJ disorder, and a host of other issues. By replacing your missing teeth with dental implants, it will preserve your natural alignment.

Because nearby teeth are not altered, as with a traditional bridge, you will not experience the dental sensitivity that often follows. Traditional dental bridges are supported by nearby teeth and traditional dentures rest directly on the gums. Both can cause wear and tear on nearby teeth, uncomfortable sores, and bone loss.

Dental Implants Can Boost Self-Confidence

Tooth loss can prevent you from smiling with confidence. Once your dental implant restoration is in place, you will notice an increased desire to show off your pearly whites. Smiling is a natural mood enhancer. You will also find that being able to enjoy all your favorite foods and eliminating dental pain will result in a newfound freedom and better quality of life.

Dental Implants Deliver Realistic Results

Your dental implant restoration will be customized to blend with the natural aesthetics of your smile. Each tooth will be crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your missing teeth, providing realistic results. Unless you tell someone, most people will be unaware you have had dental implants placed.

Dental Implants Offer Unparalleled Durability

Because the implants integrate with your surrounding bone tissue, it provides superior support and lasting results. Your restoration will also be crafted from durable materials that are designed to mimic natural tooth enamel, not only in aesthetics, but in sturdiness. With traditional restorations, certain foods must be avoided, as they can cause displacement or damage.

Dental Implants Promote Better Oral Health

The roots of your teeth are designed to stimulate the nerves within your jawbone. Each time you bite down or chew, these nerves keep your jawbone healthy and stable. Once teeth are removed, these nerves are no longer able to be stimulated. This can result in bone loss and changes to your facial structure. Even traditional restorations cannot keep this from occurring. Since dental implants are designed to imitate tooth roots, your jawbone will remain healthy and structurally sound, resulting in better long-term oral health

Hello Everyone,  From my email:  My insurance is ending this month. There are so many policies out there..., can you please tell me what to get? What's the difference? KNM, Lafeyette, CA.

Back to School Mouth Guards: Minimizing The Impact

Back to School Mouth Guards: The American Dental Association claims that there are 200,000 injuries a year that can be prevented if a mouth guard was worn. Wearing mouth guards prevents trauma to teeth and can reduce impact playing certain sports. This sports include: Acrobatics Basketball Boxing Field hockey Football Gymnastics Handball Ice hockey Lacrosse Martial arts Racquetball Roller hockey Rugby Shot putting Skateboarding Skiing Skydiving Soccer Squash Surfing Volleyball Water polo Weightlifting Wrestling  And, according to the American Association of Orthodontists, 84% of children playing  in organized sports don't wear protection.

We also feel that it is our duty to inform our patients about oral health and EMPOWER them to live healthier lives! Here are some interesting fun dental facts about your teeth that we thought would be fun to share! The enamel on the top surface of your tooth is the hardest part of your entire body. Teeth start to form even before your are born. Humans have four different types of teeth: Incisors, Canine, Pre-Molars, and Molars. They are used to cut, grind and tear our food. Humans have only two sets of teeth in their entire lifetime. No two people have the same set of teeth. Your teeth are as unique as your fingerprint. Your mouth produces over 25,000 quarts of saliva in a lifetime. (That's enough to fill 2 swimming pools, LOL!) An average person spends 38.5 days of their life brushing their teeth over their entire lifetime. There are many diseases that are l...
