Why should I think about having a dental implant?

September 22, 20261 min read

Here are some benefits of having a dental implant:

They can replace any number of teeth. Full arch implants can support bridges or dentures and offer more stability than conventional dentures.
They look like natural teeth. Once the treatment has been completed, you would struggle to tell the difference between an implant and your natural tooth!
They often last a lifetime. Dental implants are just like your natural teeth; once the healing stage has taken place, you can forget all about them! You look after them just like you would a natural tooth, with daily brushing and flossing.
Implants are often cost effective. Conventional dental treatment does not last a lifetime and often needs to be replaced. If you compare this to the one-off cost of the implant placement, it usually works out better for your bank balance!
It will not affect your other teeth. With conventional treatment such as a bridge, the teeth either side of a gap need to be prepared. This means permanent tooth tissue is removed, which can lead to problems in the future. A traditional denture can lead to decay, and most people don't enjoy wearing them! With a dental implant, the teeth either side do not have to be prepared.
