Advantages of Dental Implants

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Although teeth are meant to last a lifetime, injury, disease and improper care can take their toll. Sometimes, replacement teeth, such as dental implants, are necessary to retain your ability to chew, talk and have the confidence that comes with a great smile.

Should you choose dental implants? Ottawa cosmetic dentist, Dr. Ami Barakat of Dentistry@Main in Ottawa, Ontario can help you make sense of your options and guide you through the decision process to achieve the best outcome.

Dentures

Dentures are a traditional method for tooth replacement. Although modern dental technology offers the tools to create dentures that fit well, many patients still have issues with denture pain, slippage and discomfort. Dentures may also require a more restrictive diet and use of adhesives to keep your dentures in place.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are permanent replacements for missing natural teeth.  Unlike dentures, implants are not removable, but actually attach to jaw bone.

Dental implants are a popular option for permanent tooth restoration, because implants:

  • Look, feel and function naturally
  • Do not destroy adjacent teeth
  • Do not slip like dentures
  • Are more comfortable than dentures
  • Offer improved oral health
  • Are highly durable with proper care

If dental implants sound like the solution to your missing teeth or denture issues, please contact Dr. Barakat at Dentistry@Main, serving Ottawa, Kanata, and Stittsville, Ontario.
