What are the benefits of dental implants? Lara and Geelong

Dental implant treatment has many benefits to help you restore the form and function of your smile.

Dental implants are an incredibly effective treatment for replacing or restoring teeth. Dr Charlie Kahwagi offers a wide range of benefits when choosing to undergo dental implant surgery. Some of these benefits include:

Improved comfort

When compared to alternatives such as traditional dentures, a dental implant provides a much more comfortable solution. Dentures sometimes tend to slide and become loose-fitting within the mouth. Because of this, problems with speaking and eating may arise. Dental implants also remove the need to apply uncomfortable adhesives to your prosthesis.

Improved oral health

Dental implant treatment can significantly improve your overall oral health. Unlike a fixed bridge, dental implants do not require the use of adjacent teeth as an anchor. This means that all remaining teeth are left intact and will not require any modification which may result in a deterioration of health. Dental implants also provide easy access when cleaning between the teeth.

Improved appearance

Dental implants look and feel just like a natural tooth, and they are designed to fuse to the bone, becoming a permanent fixture. When inserted correctly, friends and won’t be able to tell the difference between your prosthetic and your teeth.

Durability

Dental implants are made from high quality, durable materials which, when maintained correctly, can last a lifetime.

Dietary benefits

Tooth loss can make eating certain foods extremely difficult and in some cases very painful. People with removable dentures also often experience discomfort due to ‘prosthesis’ sliding. As dental implants are a permanent rigid fixture, you will be able to eat all foods without pain or discomfort.
