If you are missing one or more teeth, the doctors at Sensitive Care Cosmetic and Family Dentistry may recommend dental implants. These innovative prosthetics may be considered cosmetic, because they look natural. Implants can anchor a single tooth, or a bridge, partial, or denture.
Implants Care is Easy
You care for an implant in the same manner that you care for a natural tooth, meaning that all you need to do is brush and floss daily at home, then visit the dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. You do not need any extra tools to clean your implants, as you would for dentures.
Implants Preserve the Jawbone
Without teeth roots, jawbone tissue is not stimulated. As a result, the body functions as if teeth roots do not need support. It funnels minerals to other parts of the body, where they are needed. A lack of sufficient minerals to the jawbone leads to bone deterioration. Implants feature a tooth root replacement — an implant post. Bridges, partials, and traditional dentures do not replace teeth roots. Implant posts stimulate the jawbone, so the body continues to send minerals to the bone.
Implants are Economical
Initially, the cost of dental implants may seem steep. However, the costs associated with repeat visits to replace worn-out prosthetics and reline dentures can exceed the one-time cost of dental implants. At Sensitive Care, we offer several different financial options to make the dental implant procedure affordable. We’ll also teach you how to take care of your oral health, so your implants could last a lifetime.
