Dental Implants

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offered by the Brueggen Dental Implant Center in Houston, Texas are a permanent solution to the problem of tooth loss. Whether you are missing one tooth or all of your teeth, dental implants in Houston, Texas are a permanent solution that provides you with a functioning and attractive smile.

Implants are artificial tooth roots that a single tooth or a complete set of new teeth can be attached to. This provides you with confidence to smile and restores your ability to eat the foods you enjoy.

Dental implantation services offered by the Brueggen Dental Implant Center in Houston will help you to become more confident and regain the reliability associated with a healthy set of natural teeth. These man made roots act as an anchor for supporting replacement teeth and are an integral part of the implant system. The natural looking replacement teeth that attach to these implants do not require any support from adjacent existing teeth, therefore helping to keep them healthy. Dental implantations also help in maintaining the structure and integrity of the jawbones.

Drawbacks of other Dental Procedures

While dental implants in houston, Texas focus on restoring function and beauty to your mouth, there are other dental procedures that focus primarily on making an unattractive smile more esthetically pleasing. Often, these procedures prove to be anything but user-friendly. If you have the option and/or need to replace your smile all together then dental implantation would be the best way to have both function and an attractive smile in one simple procedure.

Some of the problems associated with other dental procedures are:

1. Bridges rely on healthy adjacent teeth for support but healthy adjacent teeth aren’t always present. If they are, they often need to be ground down and can producing complications and further expense down the road. (do not require healthy adjacent teeth for support.)
   
2. There is no ease of maintenance with bridges. In fact, their average lifespan is only ten years and often require replacement at five years or less. (Implants are capable of lasting a lifetime.)


3. Dentures are generally the least expensive option for replacing a complete arch of missing teeth but tend to be uncomfortable, unnatural looking, embarrassing,and limit your ability to eat the foods you enjoy. (Implants provide a natural, comfortable and activity boosting solution.


4. Dentures need to be removed at night and may require gooey adhesives to keep them in place. This is terribly inconvenient and can also increase your chances of misplacing or damaging your dentures. (Implants stay secure in your mouth and can be cleaned just like natural teeth.)


5. If you have bridges and dentures in your mouth then you will be limited to the types of foods you can chew such as nuts, fruits and many more. At best a full set of dentures will only restore 35% of you natural chewing force.(Implants allow you to use increased force on your bite and enjoy all your favorite foods again.)


6. Bridges and dentures do not stimulate bone growth therefore patients choosing these options may experience extreme bone loss over time. This can result in an older appearance. (Implants actually stimulate bone growth and help maintain a youthful appearance.)

With proper maintenance and regularly scheduled visits to the Brueggen Dental Implant Center in Houston, Texas, your implants are designed to last a lifetime.
