Ask Your Waco or Harker Heights Cosmetic Dentist: The Benefits of Dental Implants

By Stonehaven Dental & Orthodontics | May 18, 2017

If you are missing one or more teeth, you may be overwhelmed by the number of restoration options available. While there are many services offered by your Waco or Harker Heights dentist, dental implants are often considered a popular and effective long-term solution to damaged or missing teeth.

Although there are several benefits to dental implants, here are just a few!

Secure & Permanent

Dental implants are an artificial version of real tooth roots that are secured into the jawbone just like your natural teeth. They provide a permanent, secure base for replacement teeth.

With other solutions to missing teeth (such as dentures or bridges), you run the risk of your replacement teeth coming loose because those solutions do not offer a secure & permanent base. Implants eliminate the risk of your tooth coming loose during normal activities like eating and talking.

Eat the Foods You Enjoy

Since the implant is permanently secured, you can still eat all your favorite foods! Alternative options, such as partials, do not offer the same luxury. Instead of struggling to limit your food options, you can eat just as you did before.

Natural Results

Dental implants are topped with a prosthetic tooth made to blend into your smile perfectly so that results look natural! The material used for dental implants is usually zirconium or porcelain that is very durable and looks very similar to natural teeth. These high-quality materials mimic the appearance of your other teeth, making them almost impossible to spot. Unless you tell someone, they won’t be able to tell you have a dental implant.

Dental implants also feel and function naturally because there are no removable parts. You can continue to care for your teeth and dental implants in the same way you always have, brushing and flossing daily and visiting your Waco or Harker Heights dentist every 6 months for a comprehensive exam and cleaning.

Reclaim Your Confidence!

One of the most amazing benefits of dental implants is that patients can get back to smiling! Often we hear that patients have been avoiding photos, or smiling with their lips closed due to being self-conscious about their missing or damaged teeth. Dental implants give patients beautiful results that can restore confidence and get patients back to smiling, and that is a beautiful thing.

Sammy, Connor, the front desk staff, Dental Hygenist and especially Dr. Town are amazing! It’s great to see the same faces everyone I get a cleaning! Sammy makes the experience comfortable and welcome. Connor may be quiet but he always does a great job! The dental hygienist always remembers me and my kids. Sorry I cant remember her name but she knows who I am and that’s what matters:) Thankful for this staff and the great care they give to my family!

I love it here. I have never seen a dental office give flowers to first timers. Everyone was so welcome if. In pain but you guys still made me smile. I told my daughter she need to come there. I love how you guys work with options of payment. Again thanks for making me smile in pain.

We’ve always had a good experience at Stonehaven. The women at the front desk are always cheerful and helpful. I love the hygienists, they always make my children and I feel comfortable and informed. I have pretty high dental anxiety and they’ve never tried to minimize my fears- but they listen to me, and help me feel as comfortable as possible. The dentists and orthodontists have been great! No issues at all. (I just wish my daughter was better at flossing, but we’re working on that!)
