What Dental Implants Can Do for You

You have options for restoring your smile and there are many reasons why you should be considering dental implants as your solution. Although they require a larger initial investment of time, they are unmatched in their longevity. To learn more contact, Dr. Robert Wyler, in Waukesha, WI.

Filling the Gap

A gap in your smile is more than unsightly, the spot of the missing tooth can alter the spacing of surrounding teeth which can alter your bite as well as create hard to clean areas. Something that can allow plaque to accumulate and can lead to cavities and gum disease without proper care.

Your dentist can help prevent a lot of these problems either with dental implants or other methods, but we'll delve below into the benefits of dental implants over these other treatments.

Won't Impact Adjacent Teeth

The traditional treatment for missing teeth is the dental bridge, which utilizes the teeth adjacent to the gap as support for your new crown. Dental implants take another approach. A titanium post is permanently implanted onto the bone beneath the space which, just like the root of your natural teeth, will be the only support your new crown will require.

Long Term Solution

Through a process called osseointegration, the bone fully bonds to the dental implant making for very long-lasting results. Only the crown may eventually need to be replaced, but with proper care, even these can last a long time.

Restore Multiple Teeth

Dental implants can replace multiple teeth following the same principle as with replacing one. A set of dental implants acts as a support for either a partial or a full denture, and without the need to have a one-to-one ratio between teeth replaced and dental implants.
