Tired of those old dentures? Sick of living with an incomplete set of teeth? No matter how many Teeth you’re missing there’s a good possibility you’ve spent time looking for the best possible way to replace them. Luckily for you that information is easy to find: it’s dental implants.

We’re proud to provide dental implants at our Ridgecrest office. It may seem at first glance that they’re just replacement teeth, but trust us: implants are so much more than just a way to replace teeth. From the reactions and satisfaction our patients have had with their treatment it’s obvious that implants are a total life transforming experience.

What Makes Dental Implants So Great?

Think of the anatomy of a natural tooth: it has a sturdy root that binds it to your jaw. When your teeth are lost there’s not a whole lot that can fill their role with that same kind of stability, but dental implants can. Using a small titanium screw, we can anchor an artificial root to your jaw that’s just as sturdy and stable as the teeth you’ve grown yourself. With proper care implants can last for life.

Implants are also able to replace a whole mouthful of teeth with just four to six precisely placed posts. They’re a truly amazing solution to tooth loss that we’re confident you’ll love.

But how do implants benefit you? What makes them “more than just teeth?”

They Allow You To Be Healthy

Studies have shown that denture patients are far less healthy than those who have implants. The reason why is simple: you can’t really eat that well with dentures or missing teeth. An overwhelming number of denture patients suffer from malnutrition.

Implants, on the other hand, return about 90 percent of your natural bite force. You’ll be able to eat almost anything without any trouble at all: bite into fruit, crunch on chips and pretzels, and even eat a burger without cutting it up first. Life doesn’t get much better than that!

They Restore Your Confidence

Have you ever been embarrassed by your lack of teeth, or worse – have your dentures misbehaved at the worst possible moment? If so you know how badly that can affect your confidence. Missing teeth and wearing dentures are both ways to find your confidence lacking.

With dental implants you’ll have a full set of beautiful teeth that don’t slip or fall at all. Whether it’s a single tooth or a full mouth bridge, dental implants are just as permanent as natural teeth. There won’t be any embarrassing situations, worrying about your dentures, or showing off a partial smile – just natural looking teeth all the time.

They Make Living Easier

Cleaning dentures and maintaining good health while wearing them can be hard. That definitely isn’t the case with dental implants! Caring for your teeth will be as simple as ever – all you have to do is brush and floss like you would with natural teeth.

You could completely eliminate all the junk associated with your dentures and go back to just having a toothbrush on the bathroom counter. If you’ve been putting up with dentures for a while that’s probably a very nice sounding alternative!

They Can Stop Osteoporosis

Bone loss is an unfortunate and universal result of tooth loss, and for many patients it can tip the scales into full-blown osteoporosis. The longer you go without something keeping your jawbone healthy the worse your bones can get, with the end result being weak and easily broken bones both in your jaw and throughout your body.

Dental implants bind to bone, which doesn’t just keep them secure: it also stops bone loss. For many patients this also slows or stops the spread of osteoporosis as well! That’s just one more reason dental implants are the number one choice for great living and good health.
