The Advantages of Dental Implants

Serving the Portland OR & Vancouver WA Metro Area

You’ve probably heard by now that dental implants can truly be a life-changing experience, but what exactly are some of the benefits of dental implants? How “life-changing” can they really be? Consider the following.

Custom Fit Means You Won’t Notice Them

The advantages of dental implants are many with chief among them being the function they offer. Like real teeth, and often better, dental implants provide a custom fit to your mouth. This fit, paired with the strength and security of the implant, means that the patient can expect unrivaled function. Function here refers to speech, chewing, and all other typical uses of the mouth.

Dental Implants Look Like Real Teeth

Function is great, but without comfort and a natural, realistic appearance, it is merely function. Dental implants are not merely functional but are also unparalleled in comfort and realness of appearance. With implants, there is no slipping, gluing, hiding, or any of that. For all intents and purposes, these are your real teeth, and unless you tell someone, they will never know.

Improved Oral Health

Another of the advantages of dental implants is that of overall improved oral health. The mouth and teeth therein form a system, and when some parts of that system are not functioning properly, it does affect other parts of the system. By introducing dental implants to the areas of need, the rest of the patient’s mouth and tooth status is thus greatly aided and supported.

Improved Quality of Life

Not all of the benefits of dental implants are simply singular. The cumulative effect of confidence, security, fantastic appearance, easy and normal mouth maintenance, and improved functions is dramatic. To this end, the psychological improvement experienced by patients is arguably just as important and profound as the improvements in physical and bodily health.
