If you have one or several missing teeth, looking for a replacement solution may be daunting. However, one solution stands out among all the options available: dental implants. This post will discuss why many dentists and patients consider them the gold standard for tooth replacement.
Why Implants Are “The Gold Standard”
When a product or service is considered the best of the best, it is termed “the gold standard.” For dental implants, this means being at the forefront of tooth replacement and offering benefits that other solutions do not.
- Natural Look and Functionality — Dental implants mimic the appearance of a natural tooth and its function, providing a biting force that rivals natural teeth. Dr. Holly Baller often shares with her patients how implants preserve their natural bite, allowing them to eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence.
- Jawbone Health — One of the less well-known benefits of dental implants is that they help prevent jawbone loss. When you lose a tooth, the bone underneath begins to deteriorate. However, dental implants are anchored into the jawbone to stimulate bone growth and maintain structural integrity.
- Durability — A dental implant fuses with your jawbone, becoming part of your dental anatomy. It is designed to last a lifetime with proper care, unlike other solutions that require frequent replacements or adjustments.
- No Alteration to Healthy Teeth — Traditional dental bridges require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth. Dental implants do not compromise the health of surrounding teeth, making them a more conservative choice.
