Dental Implant Placement in Auburn
If you are debating if you should invest into a single tooth implant or a bridge to replace a tooth, take into consideration the following points:
Dental Implants Are Easy To Clean
Because a dental implant is not bonded or fixed to adjacent teeth life a bridge, they are very easy to clean. You can brush and floss a dental implant just like you would a natural tooth making them very easy to keep clean.
Dental Implants Are Strong
Dental implants undergo a process called osseointegration. Human bone actually grows around the titanium post of a dental implant and fuses to it. This process makes a dental implant as strong as a healthy tooth providing the patient with a long term treatment option that requires little maintenance.
Dental Implants Are Life-like
A properly placed dental implant looks as real as the natural tooth next to it. Your dentist will use a dental lab to create a beautiful, natural looking porcelain crown that matches the color and shape of your adjacent teeth perfectly.
Dental Implants Cost Less in the Long-Run
If you are looking at other options for tooth replacement, consider your long-term investment. It is very rare that a dental implant needs to be replaced. Although the up front cost may be more than a dental bridge (not much though), the long term investment is huge. Dental bridges often need to be replaced. They can develop a cavity on the tooth underneath the bridge causing the whole bridge to need replacement. Because a dental implant is made up of titanium and porcelain, it cannot develop tooth decay.
