In the past, patients had limited options if they wanted to\nreplace teeth. Back then, only dentures or bridges could effectively fill the\ngap in their smile and make basic tasks like chewing and speaking easier. Today,\ndental implants offer a multitude of benefits that other tooth replacement\noptions couldn\u2019t match. That\u2019s why if you\u2019re considering restorative dentistry\nto rebuild your smile, it\u2019s worth considering how dental implants in\nWashington<\/a> can provide you long-term solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Long-Lasting and High Success Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dentures are known for offering a quick solution for tooth\nloss, especially if you\u2019re missing an entire arch. However, they require\nrefitting and replacement every 5 to 7 years, making them less than ideal for\nlong-term use. Dental bridges last longer, averaging about 10 years before needing\nany kind of replacement, but they don\u2019t feel quite as natural as they could be,\nnor do they have the ability to replace as many teeth at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are not only a long-lasting solution (easily\ncapable of lasting 25 years to a lifetime of use) but they carry a success rate\nthat people can rely on. On average, the success rate for dental implants\nreaches as high as 95 to 98 percent. This is even after a 10-year period, only\nfurther proving their reliability and longevity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Most Natural Appearance Possible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve seen anyone with dentures, you\u2019ve probably noticed\na significant change in their facial appearance. This is due to bone resorption,\na process that occurs after teeth are lost. Teeth are responsible for not just\nhelping you chew, but stimulating your alveolar bone (essentially part of the\njaw bone.) If your teeth aren\u2019t stimulating your bone, it begins to shrink.\nThis causes the cheeks to hollow out and the overall angle of your jaw to\nchange shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants replace the root of teeth, which means they\nconsistently stimulate alveolar bone and prevent bone resorption. They are also\nthe only tooth replacement option that solves this issue and prevents dramatic changes\nin your appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved Oral Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental bridges require the removal of tooth enamel to place\nbecause your natural teeth are used as an anchor to hold a larger restoration. Because\nof this removal of tooth enamel, you put your remaining teeth at higher risk of\ntooth decay and sensitivity. Dental implants require no removal of existing\nenamel to place because the jaw bone acts as the anchor, not remaining teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stronger Biting Force<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, bone will begin to resorb back into the body\nif tooth are lost. As the jaw begins to shrink, it won\u2019t only affect your appearance.\nIt will also affect your ability to chew foods as well as you could before.\nThis is often the case even if you were to have a denture or traditional bridge\nmade because they don\u2019t address the missing tooth root.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to restorative dentistry, there are no other\ntreatments as comprehensive as dental implants. Chewing your favorite foods feels\nindistinguishable from natural teeth, so you can rest knowing that your new smile\nwill feel as natural as it looks!
