As an alternative to traditional treatments, many people are turning to dental implants in Lawrenceville. Here\u2019s what you need to know to make the smart choice for your smile.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How are Dental Implants Different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional dental prosthetics, like a bridge, partial, or\ndenture, are an effective solution to treat all severities of tooth loss. They\nrecreate the portions of your teeth visible above your gum line to restore your\nability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Although they are effective,\nthey only last for a few years before needing to be replaced, and they don\u2019t\nsolve all the complications associated with missing teeth, like bone loss. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gwinnettsmiles.com\/implants.html\">Dental\nimplants<\/a> differ from traditional treatments because they replace the entire\nstructure of a tooth, including the root. A titanium implant post serves as a\nnew root to support your restoration. You will enjoy the next best thing to\nyour real tooth using an option that can last for decades! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Benefits of Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you lose a tooth, your jawbone will slowly deteriorate\nbecause it isn\u2019t stimulated by the root. Over time, any remaining teeth won\u2019t\nhave the support they need, so they will shift out of alignment. This\nsignificantly increases your risk of several new oral health issues, like cavities,\ngum disease, and additional tooth loss. Unfortunately, traditional treatments\ncan\u2019t stop bone loss, but dental implants can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The implant post stimulates your jaw to encourage new bone\ngrowth. Through a process called osseointegration, your jaw fuses to the post,\nallowing it to remain in place forever with the right aftercare. Overall, you\u2019ll\nenjoy a variety of benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Over a 95% success rate to last for decades.<\/li><li>Looks natural to smile confidently. <\/li><li>Restore 70% of your natural biting force.<\/li><li>Preserves your jawbone\u2019s density to stop dental\ndrift.<\/li><li>Improves your oral health.<\/li><li>Doesn\u2019t rely on healthy teeth for support.<\/li><li>Doesn\u2019t alter healthy teeth.<\/li><li>Supports your facial tissues.<\/li><li>Easy maintenance and care.<\/li><li>Cost-effective because they won\u2019t need to be\nreplaced.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in Your Smile Today!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You deserve to benefit from the best.
