Dental Implants in Westhampton are a True Investment!

If you’re missing a tooth or even several, replacing your teeth is one of the best investments you can make in your smile. When considering the various options available in the dental market to replace your teeth, it’s common for patients to become overwhelmed. To make things simple, your dentist is here to explain how dental implants in Westhampton are the best tooth replacement option available.

Dental Implants Are Just as Great as Natural Teeth

Dental implants are hands-down the most effective tooth replacement option available today. They stand strong with a success rate of at least 95%! When you properly care for your dental implants, they can last a lifetime. What makes them so great is that they address both vital parts of your missing tooth: the visual aspects (crown above the gum line) and the tooth root (below the gum line). When you consider this, it’s easy to understand why patients are willing to invest in their smile for these long-lasting results.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Having a healthy, full smile comes with unlimited benefits—especially when you have dental implants to replace teeth for years to come. After losing pieces of your teeth you may feel that confidence start to diminish. You can rebuild your confidence among many other benefits like this:

• Ability to blend well with the rest of your smile with seamless, tooth-colored dental prosthetics.
• Durable restorations built to last the rest of our patient’s lives with the proper care and regular checkups.
• No abrupt changes in your dental hygiene routine, your restorations can be cared for just as regular teeth.
• Ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently once again.

When You Choose Dental Implants, You Can’t Go Wrong!

If you’re wondering if there’s a limit to how many teeth you can replace, you can rest assured that every tooth in your smile can be replaced with dental implants. You can replace a few teeth or bridge them together with dental implants. Crowns and bridges can be attached to implant posts for a permanent solution.

Partial or full dentures can be used if you’ve experienced more severe tooth loss. Your dentist in Westhampton may recommend attaching dentures to a few strategically placed implant posts. You won’t have to worry about slippage, dentures falling out, or foul-tasting adhesives. Fortunately, with implants, they will stay in place with the biocompatible titanium posts that are already implanted in your jaw.

Who Is The Perfect Candidate for Dental Implants

If you’re interested in dental implants, it’s important to meet with your dental team for a consultation.  Your dentist can determine if this is the best procedure for you with your current lifestyle and health. If not, we can also discuss how you can achieve the standard needed to receive your replacement teeth. Most people are good candidates for implants, but a great candidate should have the following:

• Healthy, pink gums
• Enough bone density to anchor the implants in the jaw (if you don’t, there are bone-grafting procedures that may be completed to help you hit this requirement).
• Dedication to good oral health and hygiene both at home and by keeping regular dental appointments with your dental team.
