Dental Implants Provide A Natural Look And Feel

Dental Implants Provide A Natural Look And Feel.

Losing a tooth can be a traumatic moment in any of our lives, but thankfully our Tampa, FL, dentist is able to help restore our smile through a variety of available treatments. Dental implants, however, rank at the top of our possible options in terms of strength, durability, and just as importantly, their natural look and feel. There is the initial investment of time required by the procedure to consider, but for many, the benefits outweigh this consideration. We'll contrast dental implants with other treatments below, but to learn much more we can turn to Dr. Daira Avila of Sunshine Dentistry.

A Matter of Support

Dental bridgework and dentures are viable options for restoring missing teeth in our smile, and for many, they may be the best alternative when all the factors are weighed in. But when it comes to support, dental implants surpass what these others can achieve.

Dental bridgework depends on the adjacent teeth for support, as these need to be reshaped so a crown can be bonded to them, and in between these the replacement tooth. A traditional removable denture is held in place through suction, so a lot of the complaints regarding them often have to do with an improper fit. Dentures need to be relined regularly and replaced after about 10 years.

Dental Implants in Tampa, FL

Dental implants do it differently, they are supported by a titanium post that is permanently implanted onto the bone of our jaw. A single post can support a single crown, and a few can be used for an implant-supported denture, usually fewer than the teeth they are replacing. Stronger support means a strong and secure bite and a smile that looks and feels like our natural teeth.
