The Benefits of Dental Implants

Could this tooth replacement give you back the smile you once loved?

Tooth loss is a serious problem and one that afflicts millions of Americans. Luckily there is hope when you turn to our Marietta, GA, dentist Dr. James Hutson for restorative care. We are pleased to offer dental implants to our patients missing one, several, or all of their teeth. This metal restoration is surgically placed into the jawbone where it will take the place of your missing tooth roots. Here are some of the benefits you’ll enjoy when you choose to get dental implants:

The Next Best Thing

While no restoration is as good as maintaining your own natural teeth, when this is no longer an option, our patients can rest assured that dental implants are the next best thing. This is because implants truly function just like real teeth. They are even made from a biocompatible metal, which then fuses together with the bone and tissue in the mouth to become one. No other restoration functions as closely to a real tooth as implants.

A Long-Lasting Restoration

While most dental restorations will need to be replaced or repaired every few years, what makes dental implants different is that rarely will the implant ever need to be replaced. Plus, since it’s made from a durable metal like titanium it is designed to last several decades. This means that with the proper oral care, your implant could last the rest of your life. Of course, the dental crown placed over the implant will need to be replaced every few years, depending on how well you care for it.

Fully Restore Chewing

Whether you are missing one or many of your permanent teeth, we understand how difficult it can be to enjoy some of your favorite foods and chew food thoroughly enough. Not only does this mean avoiding certain foods that you might love, but also that you may be less likely to get the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. Furthermore, difficulty chewing often leads to issues with digestion. By restoring your smile with dental implants, you will get a restoration that will stay in place and make chewing a whole lot easier again. Don’t just dream about that steak; enjoy it!
