Dental implants are often considered permanent because, even if you need to change the attached crown or prosthetic at some point in the future, the underlying implant should remain intact.
If you have missing teeth and are hiding your smile, we invite you to continue reading to explore the many benefits of dental implants in West Chester.
How Dental Implants Work
Dental implants are unlike other tooth replacement options because they stand in for your lost tooth and its valuable root. It’s a complete anatomy replacement that considers your oral structure.
Here are the steps:
- First, the dentist assesses your oral health to ensure implant candidacy.
- Then, we take impressions and x-rays to plan your implant surgery.
- Next, we place your new tooth roots into the jawbone.
- Finally, after integration, your dentist attaches your new tooth or prosthetic.
After the dentist attaches your crown or fixed prosthetic, you are free to enjoy meals and smile with confidence.
The Benefits of Implant Dentistry in West Chester
Dental implants offer significant benefits over most other tooth replacement options.
For example:
- Dental implants are the only choice if you want to preserve your jawbone.
- Dental implants prevent tooth migration, which can lead to wear and tear.
- Dental implants can last for decades and even for life.
- Dental implants don’t require special maintenance other than brushing, flossing, and regular checkups.
Implant dentistry is ideal for patients seeking a long-term solution to tooth loss that is also maintenance-free. You’ll never have to visit the dentist for an implant relining or adjustment. There are no special products to purchase!
