Missing teeth is detrimental not only to your oral health, but your overall health as well. Untreated periodontal disease will worsen and cause infection in the body that can lead to heart attacks, stroke, and other chronic illnesses. Also, when natural teeth are missing, you lose chewing ability, and the jawbone begins to deteriorate which can quickly result in facial collapse. Clearly, replacing missing teeth is important. Dental implants are an excellent solution for restoring your oral health for many reasons:

• Dental implants restore lost teeth so that they look, feel, fit and function like natural teeth.
• Dental implants are intended to last a lifetime when properly placed and maintained.
• Because implants look so natural, you will never need to worry or be embarrassed that your smile looks odd or that your teeth will fall out when you are going about your daily life.
• Dental implants allow you to retain the natural shape of your face and smile.
• The placement of dental implants helps to stimulate bone growth and prevent the bone loss caused by missing teeth.
• Dental implants are cared for exactly like natural teeth.
• Because dental implants function like natural teeth, your speech is never affected like it might be with removable dentures.
• With dental implants, you will be able to bite naturally, allowing you to enjoy all the foods you love with no limitations.
• Implants fuse with your jawbone so that there is no worry your replacement teeth will shift, click or move.
• Because they are placed in the jawbone, there is no damage or impact to adjacent healthy teeth with the placement of dental implants.

Dental implant therapy has an outstanding long-term success rate when compared to other treatments for repairing or replacing missing teeth. Dental implants can provide you with a lifelong solution for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
