Are dental implants worth it? Advantages explored!

Do you have missing teeth that are causing you to shy away from photos or preventing you from smiling? Do you want to have those pesky gaps filled?

When you come to see our team at Spa Dental, we will be more than happy to discuss dental restorative options with you, including dental implants Sydney. Fitted via surgery, implants are secure, cost-effective and natural looking. So much so that after a few years, you may forget which tooth or teeth in your mouth are attached to an implant!

So, are there any other advantages of having dental implants Sydney fitted?

Improved appearance

One of the primary benefits of dental implants Sydney is that they can improve the appearance of your smile. When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth can shift, causing gaps and misalignment, not to mention the visual issue that occurs with the first gap caused by the lost tooth! This can not only affect the look of your smile, but it can also impact the way you speak and eat. Oral implants are designed to look and function like your natural teeth, so they can restore your smile and help you feel more good about yourself.

Enhanced comfort and functionality

Dentures and bridges can be uncomfortable to wear, especially if they don’t fit properly or shift in your mouth, which is more common in those who are older. With oral implants, you don’t have to worry about discomfort or slippage. The implants are securely anchored in your jawbone, which provides a stable and secure foundation for your replacement teeth. This means that you can eat, speak, and smile without worrying about your dentures or bridge moving around.

Preservation of bone density

When you lose one of your teeth, the underlying jawbone that was holding it in place can begin to deteriorate over time. This is because the bone needs the stimulation provided by the tooth roots to maintain its density and strength. Without this stimulation, the bone can start to weaken and deteriorate. Oral implants are the only tooth replacement option that stimulates the jawbone in the same way that natural teeth do. This helps to preserve bone density and prevent further bone loss.

Improved oral health

Oral implants can also improve your oral health in a number of ways. When you lose a tooth, it can be difficult to clean the area properly which can lead to an accumulation of bacteria and plaque in the space where the tooth was located. This can increase your risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. Oral implants are easy to clean and maintain, so you can keep your mouth healthy and free of bacteria.

Long-term durability

Finally, oral implants are designed to be a long-term solution for tooth replacement. While dentures and bridges may need to be replaced or adjusted over time, oral implants can last for up to and over 15 years with correct maintenance. This makes them a cost-effective option in the long run, as you won’t have to replace them as frequently as other tooth replacement options.
