Dental Implants Never Need Root Canals

Dental implants have many benefits. One of the great benefits of dental implants is that they never require root canals.  Sometimes root canal therapy is recommended to save a natural tooth, but dental implants consist of prosthetic teeth that are firmly anchored in the jaw with artificial tooth roots.  Dental implants look and function just like natural teeth, except that they are not subject to cavities and they never need root canal therapy.

Dental implants are long-lasting tooth replacements that give patients piece of mind.  While excellent home care and regular dental visits are highly recommended to prevent periodontal disease, the implants themselves are extremely durable.

With proper care, most dental implants last a lifetime, and they eliminate any possibility of needing a root canal.

Dental Implants Offer Cosmetic Benefits

Dental implants offer many cosmetic benefits, including preventing the appearance of premature aging.  When someone is missing teeth, they also lose supporting bone over time.  It’s like putting a bar of soap in the shower and turning on the water—the soap melts away.  When teeth are missing, the jawbone tends to atrophy or shrink over time.  As a result, some patients may look older than their years, because their face takes on a sunken appearance.

Dental implants and the resulting ability to chew help to stimulate the bone and keep it healthy. In addition to the many other practical and functional benefits provided by dental implants, they also help to preserve bone and keep patients looking vibrant and healthy.

Dental Implants: the Preferred Replacement Teeth Option

When someone is missing a tooth, they have several options available for tooth replacement. One option is to have a bridge.  However, anchoring a bridge requires the teeth on either side of the missing tooth to be “prepared” or cut down.  It is often the case that two healthy teeth need to be cut down just to replace a missing tooth between them.

One of the great advantages of dental implants is that adjacent teeth are left untouched.  A single dental implant is a one-for-one tooth replacement.  When it comes to replacing a missing tooth, dental implants are the most conservative option, not only because they look and function like natural teeth, but also because they do not require adjacent, health teeth to be ground down and used as an anchors for an old-fashioned bridge.

Dental Implants Increase Your Self-Confidence

Dental implants can change your life. When patients have unhealthy or failing teeth, they become self-conscious, especially in public. They don’t want to smile or laugh because they are embarrassed about their teeth or smile.

When dental implants are used to replace unsightly or missing front teeth, the cosmetic benefits are often dramatic.  Patients can talk, eat, smile, and laugh with confidence.  They become more relaxed in social situations, and they often get compliments on their new smile.

While many patients need dental implants for practical reasons —they want to be able to chew their food properly—the cosmetic benefits of dental implants are also very meaningful to the quality of patients’ lives.

Dental Implants Improve Comfort and Appearance

Dental implants look and function like natural teeth.  For that reason, they provide patients with great comfort and the appearance of natural teeth.  You have probably met people who have a great looking smile.  Some of these people may have dental implants, but you won’t be able to tell.  That’s why we say that dental implants are the closest thing possible to healthy natural teeth.

Don't Wait for Dental Implants

One of the most common comments from dental implant patients is, “I wish I had done it sooner!”  Dental implants often make patients look more vibrant and healthy.  They are replacement teeth that can last 30 years or more and keep patients smiling.

Dental Implants Allow You to Eat the Foods You Love

Dental Implants Look, Feel and Act Like Normal Teeth

Patients often ask us what limitations or restrictions they will have after dental implant treatment has been completed.  The good news is that there are no dietary restrictions with dental implants.  You will be able to eat all your favorite foods.

With dental implants you can eat the same foods you would with all natural, healthy teeth.  Unlike patients who have dental problems prior to dental implant treatment, after you have your dental implants you will be able to go into a restaurant and order the food you want to eat, the not the food you used to be limited to eating.

Think of your dental implants as being as functional as health natural teeth.

Dental Implants: The Conservative Option

For the traditional “three-unit bridge,” replacing a missing tooth involves grinding down adjacent teeth so they can support the bridge.  The result of this treatment is that two good teeth have to be compromised just to replace one missing tooth.

One of the benefits of dental implants is that adjacent teeth are left untouched.  A dental implant is a one-for-one replacement.  The missing tooth is replaced with a dental implant.  Adjacent and opposing natural teeth continue to function.

One of the goals of implant dentistry is to make sure that the implant tooth looks and functions like a natural tooth, so the patient can talk, chew, smile, and laugh.  By using dental implants, a conservative yet high tech and modern approach, the doctor makes sure that the patient gets the best of  both worlds—the most advanced tooth replacement system ever devised working in harmony with natural teeth.

Am I Too Old to Have Dental Implants?

Many patients wonder if they have waited too long to enjoy the benefits of implant dentistry.  The good news is that age by itself is not a limiting factor.  There are many examples of patients in their 80’s and 90’s who elect to proceed with dental implant treatment.  After treatment, they are very pleased with their decision.

While age by itself will not disqualify someone from being a candidate for dental implants, doctors are careful to assess each patient’s overall health.  Patients who have significant or chronic medical conditions may not be good candidates for dental implants.  Examples include some patients who are receiving chemotherapy for cancer or patients who have uncontrolled diabetes.  Each case is different, however, so the best thing to do is ask your doctor if you are a candidate for dental implants.
