You have missing teeth and want a long-term solution. You want a natural-looking prosthetic that functions like the teeth you lost, a lasting solution.

Dental implants tick all these boxes and more:

  • Superior Longevity
  • Outstanding Function
  • Oral Health Benefits
  • Jawbone Support
  • Easy Maintenance

This blog breaks down dental implants' benefits (especially oral health) in Prairieville, LA.

Dental Implant Benefits

#1 Superior Longevity

There are oral health benefits associated with prosthetic stability. For example, your smile remains intact for longer. You don’t have to worry about upgrading or relining your dental implants as the jawbone deteriorates.

#2 Outstanding Function

Because dental implants replace your tooth and its root, you’re left with a stable fixed solution that functions like your natural teeth. You can easily chew and enjoy a diverse diet without eating restrictions.  

Chewing aids in digestion and enhances your well-being. Additionally, a diverse diet allows you to eat complex foods that promote tooth and body health.

#3 Oral Health Benefits

Specific oral health benefits include ending tooth migration (or teeth shifting into smile gaps), less wear and tear on teeth, and an even bite surface.

#4 Jawbone Supportdental implant with screw post illustration

When you lose teeth, your jawbone naturally deteriorates without root stimulation. Dental implants are the only option to preserve the jawbone because they come with tooth root replacement.

A deteriorating jawbone can put you at risk for further tooth loss, which often means a sunken appearance in the lower face and chin areas.

#5 Easy Maintenance

Dental implants require the same care as natural teeth. There is nothing to buy and no added steps to your oral care routine.

About Dental Implants

Dental implants are full anatomy tooth replacements—root and crown. You can have a single dental implant or talk to your dentist in Prairieville, LA, about an implant-supported prosthetic like a denture or bridge.
