If you’re currently living with missing teeth, here are some reasons to consider implants as your restorative dental treatment:

Permanency
Implants are artificial titanium tooth roots placed in your jaw through implant surgery. Over time, they integrate with your bone system to become a stable platform for your new smile. Once the implants heal, Drs. Scott and Grove will attach abutments (connectors) and your new teeth to complete your treatment. With good oral care, implants will become a permanent part of your smile and life!
Secure, Stable Smile
Teeth anchored by implants are as secure and stable as real teeth. They’ll stay in place when you talk, laugh, sing, and chew! Imagine the joy of having replacement teeth that look, act, and feel real! You can live life fully knowing your new smile can keep up with you!
Functionality
If you love to eat, Drs. Scott and Grove highly recommend implants as they give you the chewing power to eat various foods. Implant teeth are just as functional as natural teeth because they have artificial roots. Improved chewing makes digesting your food and getting its full nutritional value easier.
No Bone Loss or Dental Drift
After losing teeth, your jawbone starts to deteriorate as there’s nothing to stimulate bone growth. Your face and mouth may sink due to a lack of jaw support. Implants prevent bone loss by stimulating your jaw. They keep your jaw healthy and strong and your facial structure intact. By filling the empty spaces of missing teeth, implants keep your teeth from drifting, so your smile stays aligned.
Natural Appeal
One of the best reasons to consider implants is their natural, pleasing appeal. Drs. Scott and Grove will create restorations that match your natural teeth seamlessly to give your smile an authentic appearance. You can look forward to a full, healthy, attractive smile. Come picture-taking time; you’ll be the first in line!
Low Maintenance
Implant teeth don’t require extra care other than normal brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings. Implants can’t get cavities, but your gums can develop problems if you’re lax with your oral care. Healthy gums are essential to strengthening your implant teeth over the long haul.
Longevity
With proper care, titanium implants can last indefinitely, and your replacement teeth can last fifteen to twenty years. Longevity makes implants an investment well worth considering!
