Implants for a younger smile
Many people are considering dental implants as a way to preserve the
youthful appearance of their face. Human bones are living tissue and
stimulation of the jawbone is important when it comes to maintaining a young
face. Chewing with natural teeth produces pressure that stimulates the jawbone.
This stimulation of the bone keeps the jaw bone for eroding or shrinking and
giving our face an older and wrinkled appearance. Beyond keeping a youthful
smile, dental implants allow a patient to enjoy full function of the teeth
working properly.
Unlike dentures, implants can last a lifetime. They are surgically
placed in the jaw bone, providing stimulation and restoring full function to
our ability to chew. Dental implants are as effective as our natural teeth
because they mimic the root and the crown of our natural teeth. The root is a
tiny titanium screw that fuses to the bone. The crown is a perfect match with
the shape and color of our natural teeth. In addition, dental implants are not
affected by tooth decay.
