Why Dental Implants Are The First Choice When It Comes To Missing Teeth Replacement
Up until relatively recently when someone experienced a missing tooth their options were quite limited. Patents could either choose from a tooth-supported bridge, a removable partial denture, or a resin-bonded bridge. Although they all carry out the task of quickly replacing a missing tooth they all have their limitations and indeed flaws. Over the past decade or so more and more people are turning to dental implants. in Richmond for example most clinics in the area have seen a drastic rise in the amount of patients wanting dental implants, so why is this?
Affordability
Although implants are considered more expensive than any other form of tooth replacement, they’re more affordable now than ever before. Competition from implant manufacturers and clinics alike have all helped to drive down the price. In addition many clinics are now offering a number of affordable payment options making it a seriously competitive choice.
Benefits
Dental implants have many benefits that other forms of tooth replacement simply don’t have. These include
- Permanency– They’re permanently fixed and therefore should never need replacing
- Aesthetics – In terms of looks, dental implants are considered the most natural form of tooth replacement and to the untrained eye, they look just like natural teeth.
- Longevity – On average dental implants last 3-5 times longer than any other form of tooth replacement.
- Stand alone – As implants are secured directly into the jaw and not fixed to a framework they don’t rely on the support of otherwise healthy teeth to keep them in place, therefore preserving otherwise healthy adjacent teeth.
A better understanding
With the onset of the World Wide Web, people have easy access to a wealth of information. Because of this, many of the myths and the fear factors that once surrounded dental implants have virtually disappeared. Nowadays, people have instant access to informative articles, patient-friendly procedural pages, and a wealth of testimonials so that they can make better informed decisions about their dental future.
