Dental Implant vs. Traditional Bridge
Today, dental implants are widely recognized as the gold standard for replacing missing teeth in Western Springs, IL. They offer several benefits over traditional methods by not only replacing a missing tooth but also supporting the stability of adjacent teeth. Implants are designed to function like natural tooth roots, which stimulates the jawbone and helps prevent bone loss—a key factor in maintaining oral health. This stimulation preserves both the strength and density of your jaw, ensuring a long-lasting, natural-looking restoration. Ultimately, dental implants provide a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution that promotes overall dental wellness.
In contrast, dental bridges do not include a component that mimics the natural tooth root, meaning there is no artificial anchor to secure the replacement tooth. As a result, the procedure often involves filing down neighboring teeth to support the bridge, which can compromise their strength over time. Without the ability to stimulate the jawbone, bridges cannot prevent the gradual bone loss that may occur at the site of tooth loss. This limitation can lead to further complications, including the weakening or eventual failure of the supporting teeth. Compared to dental implants, which restore both function and long-term bone health, dental bridges provide a less comprehensive solution for tooth replacement.
Key Benefits of Dental Implants:
- Looks, Feels, & Functions Like Real Teeth
- Stays in Your Mouth
Your dental implant will feel and function exactly like your natural teeth. You will be able to eat any foods without restrictions. Your new tooth will be virtually indistinguishable from your real teeth, so you can smile again with confidence.
Since the implant is placed in your mouth, it stays in place throughout any activity. There are no eating restrictions or worrying about a false tooth slipping out of place. Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants keep the structure of your jaw intact, so you won’t have to get them refitted or replaced. With good oral hygiene and regular office checkups, they may last your entire life.
