When you choose a dental implant as a tooth replacement option, you just might forget that you ever lost a tooth in the first place. Implants look and feel just like natural teeth and offer several benefits that bridges and dentures just can't provide. Dr. Travon Holt, your South Atlanta, 
GA dentist at Dentistry at Camp Creek, is here to share a few truths about implants.
Implants offer long-term cost savings
Implants seem like the more expensive option when you compare them to the initial cost of a bridge or dentures. If you look closely at the costs of each replacement option over the course of your life, you just might find that implants are the best choice for your wallet. Bridges and dentures may need to be replaced several times throughout the years, while an implant becomes a permanent part of your jaw and never needs to be replaced.
They're better for your oral health
When you lose a tooth, the jawbone underneath starts to shrink and weaken. If you lose several teeth, your face may begin to sag, and you may even be more likely to experience jaw fractures in some cases. Titanium implants help your jawbone stay strong. During the implant procedure, your dentist creates an opening in your jawbone and places the implant in it. Over the course of several months, the bone grows around the implant, which becomes just as strong as a natural tooth root. The implant constantly stimulates your jawbone, encouraging bone regeneration and preventing the problems that can occur due to shrinkage.
You can eat anything you want
It's difficult to bite or chew some foods with bridges or dentures. No matter how well your dentures fit, they just don't have the same biting power as your natural teeth. Implants look, feel and act like your own teeth, which means you can eat all of your favorite foods.
Think dental implants might be a good choice for you? Call Dr. Travon Holt, your South Atlanta, GA dentist at Dentistry at Camp Creek, at (404) 629-9290 and make an appointment today. A stronger, healthier smile awaits you!
