With around 500,000 dental implants placed every year, they\u2019re quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to rebuild smiles. So why have over 3 million American adults chosen this new dental restoration process over mare traditional ones like bridges or dentures? Read on to learn seven key advantages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sanmarcosdental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants in San Marcos<\/a> have over the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.) Incredibly Lifelike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The appearance of your new tooth is important if you want to regain your confident smile. That\u2019s why dental implants are precisely crafted out of porcelain to mimic the shape, color, and size of your natural teeth. Most patients find that their dental implant is indistinguishable from the rest of their smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.) Improved Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike other tooth replacements, dental implants literally become a part of you by fusing with your jawbone. This firm foundation allows you to talk, eat, and laugh comfortably and without worry. You\u2019ll never feel them slip or pop out of place like you might with dentures or a loose dental bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.) Strong Biting Force<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only does being anchored into the jawbone make dental implants more comfortable, but it improves their biting force as well. Studies indicate that this tooth replacement option can restore 80-90% or more biting force, allowing you to comfortably eat whatever is on your plate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.) Designed to Last a Lifetime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A set of dentures typically needs to be replaced every five to seven years, while a dental bridge can last anywhere from five to 15 years. On the other hand, you can expect your dental implants to last for many decades to come. With the proper care, they can easily stay in place for a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.) Easy &amp; Convenient to Care for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants don\u2019t require any special care. A simple yet effective dental routine of regularly brushing, flossing, and seeing your dentist for checkups is all that\u2019s needed to keep them beautiful, comfortable, and functional for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.) Prevent Bone Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As soon as a tooth goes missing, your jawbone begins to deteriorate from a lack of blood circulation. Eventually, your jawbone will visibly shrink, your facial bones will shift, and you may develop a sunken, aged appearance. Since dental implants replace the roots of a tooth as well as its crown, they stimulate blood flow in the jawbone and prevent this process from happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.) Better for the Health of Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Filling the gaps in your smile with dental implants is the healthiest way to replace missing teeth. They don\u2019t require altering healthy teeth like dental bridges do and they won\u2019t cause gum irritation or sores like dentures can over time. Additionally, since they\u2019re easy to care for, they\u2019ll help lower your risk of oral health issues like tooth decay and gum disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No matter how many teeth you\u2019re missing, dental implants are an excellent option for almost anyone who is looking to rebuild their smile. Talk to your San Marcos dentist today to discover if this modern tooth replacement option is right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>At San Marcos Gentle Dental, we can help you replace one, several, or an entire arch of missing teeth with modern dental implants.
