Dental Implant

When to Consider an Implant:

  • Missing Tooth: If a tooth is missing or needs to be extracted, an implant is a permanent solution that replaces both the root and the crown.
  • Long-Term Solution: Implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care, making them a good option for long-term tooth replacement.
  • Bone Preservation: Implants help preserve the jawbone, which can deteriorate over time after tooth loss.

Advantages:

  • Durability: Implants are highly durable and can last for many years or even a lifetime.
  • Bone Health: They stimulate and preserve the jawbone, preventing bone loss.
  • Stable and Secure: Implants are anchored into the bone, providing a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.

Making the Decision

  • Consultation: A dental professional can assess your specific situation, including the health of your remaining tooth structure and jawbone.
  • Budget: Consider your budget, as implants are usually more expensive.
  • Longevity: If you are looking for a long-term solution and have the bone support, an implant might be the better choice.
