WHY DENTAL IMPLANTS ?
Dental implants today offer a wide range of solutions to replace missing and failing teeth. Dental implant treatment allows you to regain your quality of life by improving your appearance, your smile and your confidence.
All dental treatment is an investment in your oral health and appearance. Therefore, you must understand the return on your investment and the resulting quality of life when deciding which treatment to choose. Your natural teeth are susceptible to the bacteria that live in your mouth. This bacteria is responsible for decay and periodontal disease; both conditions typically result in bad teeth & tooth loss.
The treatment for decay involves fillings, root canals, posts and crowns, until the tooth or teeth ultimately need to be removed. The treatment for periodontal disease involves gum and root scrapings followed by painful gum surgery. Once you have made the financial investment and have undergone these painful and unpleasant treatments, the bacteria that caused the problem remain in your mouth along with the teeth which are susceptible to them. In short, the problems will reoccur; typically every 5 yrs. Have you ever wondered why dental insurance only covers crowns every 5 yrs? Because the average failure rate is around 5 yrs. Dental implants on the other hand are far less susceptible to the bacteria in your mouth than your natural teeth. Therefore, the return on your investment with dental implants is much greater since the bacteria will never decay the dental implants and restorations.
The following analogy will drive the point home. Think of the oral bacteria in your mouth as microscopic termites and your teeth as a wooden framed house and dental implants as a metal framed house. Which house is more likely to have termite damage? Since termites and oral bacteria cannot destroy metal, dental implants and restorations provide you with the greatest return on your investment.
