Ready to find out how dental implants can replace your missing teeth?
If your smile has gaps where your teeth used to be, we understand just how upsetting this can be. After all, chances are pretty good that you never thought you’d have to deal with tooth loss as an adult. Unfortunately, this problem is all too common. Millions of Americans are missing at least one permanent tooth, so you aren’t alone. Thankfully, our Novi, MI, dentist Dr. Neil Blavin offers dental implants, a unique and long-term solution to missing teeth.
They are Incredibly Strong
Dental implants are indeed about as strong as real teeth, so once you get your dental implant from our Novi, MI, you can rest assured that your artificial tooth is just as up for the challenge of speaking, chewing, and biting as the rest of your natural smile. Dental implants are made from biocompatible titanium, which is amazingly resilient and long-lasting. In fact, titanium is also used to craft space shuttles. If this material is strong enough to handle the harsh elements of space, it can certainly tackle that steak you want to eat.
Say “No” to Cavities
Since implants are made from titanium you never have to worry about your artificial tooth developing decay. This can be quite a relief, especially if you are someone who is at an increased risk for developing cavities. Of course, despite this good news, good oral hygiene is still paramount to protecting and maintaining healthy gums, which is crucial for supporting a healthy smile and your dental implant.
Your Tooth Isn’t Going Anywhere
Most people these days are looking for a tooth replacement that will last as long as possible. While many oral prosthetics can last anywhere from 5-15 years before needing to be replaced, dental implants are even more low maintenance. In fact, once the implant is placed into the jawbone and completely integrates with the jawbone and tissue, this artificial tooth could last the rest of your life. Very rarely do dentists need to replace the implant, but the implant crown will need to be replaced every 10 years or so.
Getting a new and improved smile can restore your oral health and your self-esteem. Let our Novi, MI, dentist Dr. Blavin help you feel confident once again with the help of dental implants.
