Did you know that 69% of U.S. adults between the ages of 35 and\n44 have lost at least one permanent tooth? Whether it was a car accident,\ndental issues, or anything in between, many patients turn to dental implants to\nrestore their smile. After all, roughly 500,000 patients opt for this popular\nrestorative treatment each year and the procedure itself grew by nearly 7%\nbetween 2019 and 2020 alone! If you are currently weighing the pros and cons of\neach option available, you may find yourself wondering if dental implants<\/a> are\nworth the investment. Who better to share the answer than the people who have\nused them? Read on for five reasons patients love them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They Have an\nImpressive Success-Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that dental implants have a whopping 95%\nsuccess rate and can last for 20+ years? Plus, patients who follow their\ndentist\u2019s instructions and practice proper prevention have experienced up to a\n98% success rate! This is substantial considering crowns have an 85% success\nrate and dentures need to be replaced every 10 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Are\nCompletely Customizable <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Long ago, it is believed that people would use copper\npegs, seashells, and animal teeth to fix gaps in their smile. Fortunately,\npatients today benefit from years of innovations in dentistry and technology\nthat result in completely customizable dental implants. In fact, they are\ndesigned to seamlessly match the size, shape, and color of your teeth for undetectable\ntreatment and a flawless smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Are Easy\nto Clean <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although other restorative treatment options, like\ndentures, are effective, they require special cleaning solutions and extensive\nfood restrictions. Fortunately, the same cannot be said for dental implants! To\npreserve their integrity and increase their lifespan, you can care for them the\nsame way you do your natural teeth. By brushing twice a day, flossing daily,\nusing mouthwash regularly, and visiting your dentist bi-yearly for\nappointments, you can keep your dental implants in pristine condition for years\nto come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Restore\nYour Strong Bite Force <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For patients with missing or loose teeth, pain-free eating\nis a distant memory. Unfortunately, the inability to chew properly can also\nresult in poor nutrition and chronic indigestion, which can negatively impact\nyour quality of life. Fortunately, dental implants are surgically placed into\nyour jawbone, which provides you with an unparalleled level of durability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Preserve\nYour Jawbone <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a tooth falls out, the jawbone starts to\ndeteriorate due to a lack of stimulation. This can cause the jawbone to shrink,\nresulting in a sagging or sunken face. Fortunately, dental implants are directly\nsituated into the jawbone, which provides it with the stimulus it needs when\nyou chew. Therefore, dental implants can benefit your smile and the overall\nstructure of your face!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to your smile and oral health, you are worth\nthe investment. To fix gaps in your teeth, restore your bite, and protect your\njawbone, make sure to talk to your dentist today about dental implants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
