If you are looking for a natural-looking and functional replacement for your missing teeth, dental implants may be right for you. Wilmington, DE, dentist Dr. Edward Weinstein of Dr. Edward Weinstein Cosmetic and Family Dentistry often recommends dental implants for their oral health and aesthetic benefits.

Understanding Dental Implants

If you are looking for a long-term solution to missing teeth, the answer is dental implants. The implants are titanium, and they are placed into the jaw bone serving as the root. Then, a dental crown is placed over the root, both custom-fitted for your mouth and smile.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Better Health

Dental implants mimic your natural teeth. Once they are surgically placed, they integrate with your jaw to help prevent bone loss while maintaining your face structure and promoting gum health.

Comfortable Fit

You never have to worry about dental implants. You can bite, chew, and speak naturally. The implants are implanted into your mouth, so you never have to worry about them falling out, slipping, or sliding. Since they are a fixed part of your mouth, you can go about your everyday life.

Confident Smile

Dr. Weinstein, in Wilmington, DE, matches your dental implants to the natural color of your teeth. They are custom-made to your unique smile. Each tooth is then shaped to fit in with the other teeth, so you feel more confident in your smile.

Other Benefits of Dental Implants

In addition to the above, dental implants offer many other great benefits, including:

• Dental implants will not get cavities. Your implants will still need to be cared for to prevent bacteria from building up in your mouth. However, the material the dental implants are made of cannot decay.
• Easy to Care For. There is no need for cups, cleansing tablets, or adhesives like required with dentures.
• Supports the Other Teeth. When you have a gap in your mouth from the missing teeth, the adjacent teeth can start to shift, leaving you with a distorted smile.
