Dental implantation is fast becoming one of the most common procedures performed in dentist offices across the country. This is due in part to the fact that over half of Americans have one or more missing teeth according to the American College of Prosthodontists. Dental implants are considered to be the most effective way to replace a tooth. Think about the many advantages of implants in advance of your dentist appointment with Dr. John Olsen at Franklin Dental in Franklin, WI.
Natural Feel and Look
Unlike dentures which fit over the gum line, are sometimes uncomfortable and have a more artificial appearance, dental implants are very natural looking. An individual crown is crafted by a technician and placed on top of the implant, which makes it look just you’re your other teeth. Implants also feel more natural in your mouth when you’re chewing your food, brushing and talking.
Keeps Your Mouth Healthy
The bone in your jaw is what keeps your teeth anchored in place. The longer a tooth is missing from that bone, the less the bone is needed and eventually, it starts to weaken. Dental implants by your Franklin dentist will help keep the bone tissue in your mouth healthy and useful for many years.
No Embarrassment and Long Lasting Results
Some patients are hesitant to get partial dentures, flippers and similar devices because they're afraid of the potential embarrassment. With dental implants, only you and your dentist will know that you have a replacement tooth. They are permanent, non-removable and will last for decades. You can reasonably expect your dental implants to remain rooted as long as your other teeth. Just maintain regular yearly dentist checkups and floss regularly to reduce the chance of gum disease, which is the main threat to an implant.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are revolutionary, restorative treatment for people who have weakened, infected or missing teeth. Your Franklin, WI, dentist can evaluate your case to see if you're a good candidate. Call (414) 425-7050 today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Olsen.
