When considering a dental implant to replace a missing tooth, it’s important to weigh the long-term benefits against other treatment options:

• Long-Lasting Solution: While bridges and dentures may need to be replaced every 5–10 years, dental implants can last 25+ years—or even a lifetime—with proper care.

• Preserving Jawbone Health: When a tooth is lost, the underlying bone can deteriorate over time. Dental implants are the only replacement option that actively stimulates the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving your facial structure.

• No Dietary Restrictions: Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants function just like natural teeth—allowing you to eat, chew, and speak comfortably without limitations.

While the initial cost of dental implants may be higher than other replacement options, their durability, health benefits, and natural feel make them a worthwhile investment. If you’d like to discuss your options, our team is happy to help you determine the best solution for your needs.
