If you have been living with the aftermath of tooth loss as an adult, you’ll be missing a lot more than just your teeth. Your entire life will have changed, and not for the better.

Implants Are Better Than Removable Dentures

For as long as anyone can remember, removable dentures have been the most common way to replace missing teeth. They do get the job done and have helped millions of patients over the years. But there is a big problem with dentures:  you cannot eat the food you want.

There’s a reason for that. Even a really good set of dentures will only give you about 50 percent of the biting force you used to enjoy when you had a complete set of natural teeth. This means that your menu options are vastly diminished with dentures. What’s more, dentures have no support system. They merely rest on top of the gums. As such, dentures can become dislodged whenever you speak, laugh, or eat. You will be mortified as they are slipping and sliding around your mouth for all to see.

Implants are nearly as strong and durable as your natural teeth. If you’re currently living with bad dentures, we can even use implants to stabilize your dentures.

Implants Are Better Than Bridges Too

Much like dentures, bridges have been a part of restorative dentistry for a long, long time. In fact, until we really got started using root-form dental implants, the bridge was still the best way to replace a single missing tooth, or even a section or missing teeth.

But what exactly is it?
A bridge is just what the name implies. It consists of three dental crowns, with the middle crown bridging the gap created by the missing tooth. The other two supporting crowns are placed on healthy teeth.

Bridges, like dentures, also work. But they can be pretty invasive. That’s because in order to place a bridge, we need to file down those two healthy teeth, even if those teeth are free of cavities or dental damage.

Placing a dental implant, is actually less invasive than that. We’ll explain it all in more detail when you come in for your consultation.

The Best Tooth Replacement Option In Lincroft

As you can see, in earlier eras of dentistry, your options for replacing missing teeth would have left a lot to be desired. Thankfully, for a little while now, dental implants have been in use by progressive dentists, and they are the now strongest tooth replacement option available.

Our modern dental implants are made from titanium so that they can safely and effectively merge with your jawbone over the course of about three or four months, creating a stable foundation for your new smile. Plus, these implants can be restored with lifelike restoration that looks great and allows you to eat whatever you want, whenever you want, again. You’ll be smiling big again in no time!

Don’t Delay, Reclaim Your Quality Of Life Today!

Just to recap, our dental implants can quickly restore your biting power, which allows you to eat all the foods that keep you healthy. They look great in your mouth, which will restore your self-confidence. And implants are placed with a 98 percent success rate! This treatment is safe and dependable. So, what are you waiting for?
