The Benefits of Dental Implants

Having a missing tooth can have a negative impact on several aspects of your life. Eating is often uncomfortable, keeping your teeth clean Dental Implantcan be a challenge, and it can be difficult to smile when you feel like your teeth don't look nice. But dental implants from our periodontist Dr. F. Neal Plant serving Athens, Georgia, and the surrounding areas, can change all that. Discover some of the ways dental implants can benefit you.

 

Return to normal

Your teeth are meant to work together as a full set. When one is absent, the others nearby respond to the loss by shifting out of place in an attempt to "find" the missing tooth. This can lead to a chain reaction of alignment problems and more tooth loss. Dental implants stop this detrimental process by replacing an entire tooth, from root to crown.

 

Superior appearance

With dental implants from our Athens periodontist, there are no conspicuous attachment wires or clips. All of the hardware associated with these restorations are completely hidden underneath your gum line. The only visible portion, the crown, is expertly crafted from porcelain to look exactly like one of your own natural teeth, down to the color, shape, and translucency. No one will know you have a tooth restoration; even you may forget from time to time!

 

Not just for looks

While dental implants are the most realistic and attractive restoration available today, they have much more to offer our patients. They're the most low maintenance way to replace missing teeth, requiring no removal, special cleaning products, or periodic adjustments. They can be cleaned and flossed around just like a natural tooth. With proper care, including regular checkups with your dentist, you can expect your dental implants to last for many years.
