Top 5 Reasons for a Tooth Implant

1. Dental Implants are the natural replacement choice.

No longer a luxury item but a natural quality-of-life choice, dental implants are the next best thing to a natural tooth.

2. You’ll fit in.

The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons found that 69% of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal, or tooth decay. In addition, by age 74, 26% of adults will have lost all of their permanent teeth. Your neighbor probably has a dental implant. Yeah, that one.

3. Smiling and Chewing are basic human needs.

Chewing is something we take for granted until we loose a tooth or teeth–then we realize just how important our teeth are. Your smile says everything about you. If you are uncomfortable smiling because you are missing a tooth (even in the back) a dental implant can help you to be your best self.

4. Better than 25 years ago.

Dental implants today are the first and best choice in many cases of a missing tooth or teeth. Success rates are 95% or higher. Easier to place and maintain and very long-lasting, they typically outlast more conventional treatments like a crown or bridge.

5. Increased Insurance Coverage.

More dental insurance companies are covering some of the cost of implant treatment. An implant with a crown is usually about the same cost as a three-unit bridge, but statistically it lasts much longer. No wonder insurance companies are changing their attitudes toward implants.
