Plus, the procedure itself increased by nearly 7% from 2019 to 2020 alone! While this popular restorative procedure dates back to ancient times, innovations in dentistry have created durable, natural-looking dental implants that fill gaps, fix bite issues, and repair speech impediments. But what is it about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lauraphilippsdmd.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> that make them so popular? Your dentist in Midland is here to share the answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #1: They Have an Impressive Success Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While other treatment options fall between the 80% to 85% mark, dental implants have a whopping 95% success rate! This is a considerable advantage that prevents patients from having to undergo multiple procedures in an attempt to fix their dental issues. Plus, patients who implement a thorough oral hygiene routine and follow all their pre-operation and post-operation instructions can boost their likelihood of success up to 98%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #2: They Are Completely Customized to Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the experts, the use of dental implants dates back to ancient times. Back then, materials like seashells and animal teeth were used. However, patients today benefit from centuries of innovations in dentistry. Thanks to modern technology and the newest techniques, dental implants are completely tailored to each patient\u2019s unique smile. That way, the implant matches the size, shape, and color of your remaining teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #3: They Are Low Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other restorative treatment options, like dentures, come with a hefty list of food restrictions and special instructions. In comparison, dental implants are more low maintenance. Since they are surgically implanted into your jaw, they are designed to function like your real tooth. Plus, you can keep them in pristine condition by cleaning them like your natural teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #4: They Are Durable and Stable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For patients with loose or missing teeth, properly chewing food is a distant memory. Fortunately, dental implants can provide you with a stronger bite force that has the same durability as your natural teeth (if not stronger!). Plus, they are secured to your jawbone, which means they will not move around in your mouth while you are chewing or talking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your smile, bite, or language has been negatively impacted by a gap in your teeth, then it is time to talk to your dentist about dental implants. After just a few visits, you can walk out of their office with a restored smile, the ability to chew, and improved speech!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After obtaining her undergraduate degree from the Boston College, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lauraphilippsdmd.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Laura Philipps<\/a> earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Tufts University.
