Six benefits of our natural-looking dental implants

Natural Looking Dental Implants in Naperville IL Area

At West Suburban Oral Health Care, our team helps men and women in the Naperville, Illinois, area achieve and maintain oral health and wellness over their lifetime. We work with patients who need general, cosmetic, or restorative dentistry. Dental implants are one solution for those faced with extracted or missing teeth. Dental implants are described as titanium posts placed into the bone of the jaw and restored over the top to function–and appear–as a natural tooth. Let’s look at some reasons why patients love dental implants for restoring their smiles!

What are some of the advantages of titanium dental implants?

If you are considering the benefits of dental implants, we invite you to think about the following advantages that many of our patients mention in regard to their new restorations. Dental implants are:

Long-lasting. Dental implants are specifically designed by our team to be a more permanent option for missing teeth compared to dentures or bridges. With the proper care and maintenance, they can last for decades, whereas other restorative options may need to be replaced every few years.
Natural-looking. One of the primary reasons people choose quality dental implants is because they blend in seamlessly with a patient’s natural teeth. The implant’s post is made of titanium, which integrates with the jawbone, providing stability and strength. This creates a proper foundation for the prosthetic tooth or bridge that is placed on top.
Best at improving one’s chewing and speaking ability. Unlike dentures or dental bridges that may slip or shift while eating or talking, dental implants are securely anchored right into the jaw bone, allowing optimal chewing and speaking ability. This can greatly improve a person’s quality of life and self-confidence.
Great for preventing bone loss and preserving facial structure. When a tooth is lost, the bone that previously supported it begins to deteriorate due to lack of stimulation. Dental implants simulate natural tooth roots, preventing further bone loss and maintaining the natural contours of your face. This also helps prevent wrinkles and sagging skin that may occur with missing teeth.
Easy to care for. Dental implants do not require any special type of cleaning or maintenance other than regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups. There is no need for adhesives or special cleaning solutions like with dentures.
A versatile solution for missing teeth. Our team typically uses dental implants to replace a single missing tooth, multiple extracted or missing teeth, or even a full set of teeth. They can also be combined with other restorative options, such as bridges or dentures, for the best results.
