The Benefits of Dental Implants
 Dental implants are a modern-day alternative to traditional bridges and dentures, providing you with an additional option for tooth replacement. This treatment uses small titanium posts to provide support for the ceramic crowns that replace your missing teeth. The posts require surgical placement into your jawbone. In your jaw, the bone fuses to the titanium. This is a natural process called osseointegration, and it stabilizes the posts within your jaw. At Everwell Dentistry, we offer some different types of dental implants to replace missing teeth. The process for placing implants may be a bit more involved than traditional treatments, but they provide many significant benefits.

Dental implants provide the most natural solution for tooth loss. The crowns are made from ceramic, a material that not only matches the color of your natural teeth but reflects light in a similar manner to your natural teeth as well. Dental implants also do not have a base. Instead, your teeth are supported by the posts in your jaw. Your gum tissue sits around the crowns, much like it sits around your natural teeth. No one will be able to tell that you have implants.
Regain Normal Functions of Your Mouth
In addition to looking just like your natural teeth, dental implants function exactly like your natural teeth as well. They feel completely natural in your mouth. You do not need to relearn how to speak with a foreign object in your mouth.
Your new teeth also perfectly restore your abilities to bite and chew. They are held securely in place by the implant posts. You do not need to worry about them coming loose or falling out. You will be able to enjoy all of your favorite foods again without fear. Moreover, because you can bite and chew normally, your digestion and overall nutrition will be improved.
Easy to Maintain
Dentures require a fair bit of work. They need to be removed every night to be properly taken care of and then left out overnight while you sleep. This care can become tedious. Dental implants are much easier to maintain. They can be brushed and flossed just like your natural teeth. It is important that you brush at least twice a day and floss daily, even if all of your teeth are replaced with implants. This will help to keep your mouth healthy and prevent implant failure.
Keeping Your Jawbone Strong and Healthy
Traditional tooth replacement options cannot stimulate your jawbone. As a result, even though your teeth are replaced, you still lose bone mass in your jaw. Because of this, the restorations need to be replaced every few years. Dental implants are the only treatment that restores stimulation to your jawbone. The posts in your jaw mimic your natural tooth roots.
With stimulation restored, your jawbone can remain strong and healthy. This benefit also makes dental implants a long-term, even permanent, solution to tooth loss. Even if your crowns wear down or break, they can easily be replaced without having to remove and replace your entire restoration. The posts remain firmly in your jaw.
