3 Benefits of Dental Implants

3 Benefits of Dental Implants

Teeth are pulled or lost for many reasons, including injury, decay and defects some people are simply born with. Fortunately, the dentists and staff at Pekin Total Dental Care in Pekin, IL offers dental implants that can be both natural looking and beneficial in more ways than one.
 

Dental ImplantsThe advantages to dental implants are numerous, and include: 

Health benefits. When wearing ill-fitting removable dentures, eating, speaking and comfort tend to be limited. Dentures could move or fit loosely, making eating and speaking difficult. This could potentially lead to degrading physical or mental health that would eventually take a toll on ones body.
 
Convenience. Removable dentures require maintenance regularly, meaning a few minutes cleaning or soaking each day eventually add up to hours of unnecessary time. Dental implants are designed to become a part of you, and are treated as such. With careful attention to good oral health, dental implants could last a lifetime.
 
Self Confidence. We are often judged by our appearance. A visibly missing tooth could take a toll on ones self-esteem. After receiving dental implants, that missing tooth could be turned into a much-needed confident boost.
 

Are You a Candidate?

Typically, dental implant candidates are in good general and dental health, with enough bone in the jaw to support the implants themselves. Candidates should also have healthy gum tissue and good upkeep of their natural teeth. The new teeth’s synthetic roots are implanted in one of two ways: endosteal (implanted into the bone) or subperiosteal (implanted onto the bone). The periodontists at Pekin Total Dental Care, who specialize in gum tissue and bone beneath it, will work closely with dentists to ensure that the dental implants are well placed and will hold up over time. 
 
The procedure itself is usually done under local anesthetic and is executed in either one or two stages as an outpatient procedure. Regular check ups are then required to assure that the implants are doing well and that the patient is properly maintaining them. The staff at Pekin Total Dental Care is trained to give you the best information possible to ensure a healthy and easy procedure and healing process.
