Why Have Dental Implants Become So Popular?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed permanently in the jaw so an artificial tooth can be placed. The implants can replace a single tooth, a segment of teeth or even a full arch of teeth. Dental implants are the ideal dental solution for regaining your natural tooth function and appearance. As dental implants have been around since the 1950s, you can imagine they’ve improved drastically over the years to appear as natural as possible.
There are many reasons why patients choose dental implants. Dr. Steven Lieber and the team at Periodontal Health Center weigh in on the benefits of dental implants.

Appearance

Dental implants hold the closest resemblance to natural teeth. They are indistinguishable from natural teeth and can replace missing or damaged teeth.

Permanence

Unlike false teeth or dentures, dental implants become a permanent part of your smile. Once they are in place, they require the same care as natural teeth. There is no worry that dental implants will fall out of your mouth as dentures sometimes do.

Effectiveness

Dental implants are strong. They provide the same biting force and durability of natural teeth.

Convenient Care

Any type of implant requires continued at-home oral care (brushing and flossing) as well as regular visits to the dentist. For many, it is a second chance at caring for teeth following any past negligence.

Replaceable

Although permanent and strong, dental implant restorations can be replaced and fixed as needed. If an emergency occurs such as a crack or split, a new porcelain crown can be screwed or cemented in. The artificial root remains in place, and the price of a replacement is much less than the price of the original implant procedure.
