Are Dental Implants Worth it?

Dental implants are a lifetime investment that can give you a full smile again.

While shopping around for a tooth replacement option you may find yourself stumped about dental implants. After all they are pricier than other options, so you may be wondering, “What makes them different and are they worth it?” Find out more about what getting dental implants in Providence entails and whether it’s right for you.

Price

First and foremost, a lot of patients consider dental implants until they look at the price; couple this with the fact that most dental insurance programs don’t cover this dental treatment and it can be hard to consider this a worthwhile option. However, besides dental implants your other options include dental bridges or dentures. While you may spend a lot upfront on dental implants unlike these other tooth loss treatments your implant won’t slip around, make noise while eating or speaking, or irritate gums.

You also won’t have the same amount of repairs or adjustments with implants in Providence that you would with other dental work. While repairs to your dental crown may be necessary every few years, you won’t have to get a completely new implant unlike dentures or bridges.

Appearance

Dentures and bridges are a completely viable way to replace your missing teeth; however, dental implants also surpass these options Dental Implantswhen it comes to looks. This is because the implant acts similarly to a tooth’s root and is imbedded into the jawbone. Therefore you’ll never have to worry about your implant moving around or slipping out of place. Plus, we customize a dental crown to match the color and look of the rest of your smile, so you’ll always get an artificial tooth that resembles a real tooth.

Health

While any tooth loss option is better than forgoing treatment, dental implants are the only tooth replacement that actually offers health benefits. In fact, these implants not only preserve the jawbone but also stimulate new bone growth. When we lose permanent teeth we also start to lose healthy jawbone density, as well. Over time the person with tooth loss will also suffer from a shrinking jawline and sunken in appearance, which can make anyone appear older. Dental implants, however, fill out the face and protect your jawbone from losing density.
