Your once radiant grin now has a few blank spots from missing teeth. You\u2019re finally ready for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dgdental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> in West Orange, but you\u2019re not sure if they\u2019re really the best option over dentures or a bridge. In this post, learn all about this superior artificial upgrade and how you can get your winning smile back from the experts at D&amp;G Dental.<\/p>\n<h2><!--more-->What Are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<p>As the most respected experts in implant dentistry in West Orange, Dr. Medhat Dawoud, Dr. Paula Gencarelli, and Dr. Shanin Ghobadi explain that dental implants consist of three pieces:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Implant<\/u> \u2013 The implant itself is a biocompatible titanium post that will be surgically placed in your jaw. This will become the secure foundation for the rest of your replacement tooth.<\/li>\n<li><u>Abutment<\/u> \u2013 This is the connecting piece between the implant and- the tooth-shaped \u201ccap.\u201d Once the implant is strong enough and has fused with your jawbone, the abutment will then be affixed to the post.<\/li>\n<li><u>Crown<\/u> \u2013 This is the part of the replacement that looks like the tooth. The long-lasting, natural-looking porcelain dental crown will be secured to the abutment after that part is added, restoring your smile to its former glory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Are Dental Implants Better Than Dentures Or Bridges?<\/h2>\n<p>Our team knows that dental implants are the gold standard for replacing teeth for a reason \u2013 they\u2019re superior to dentures, partials, and fixed dental bridges for many reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Jaw Strength<\/u> \u2013 Unlike bridges and dentures that cause your jawbone to recede from the pressure that occurs every time you chew, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aaid-implant.org\/about-dental-implants\/what-are-the-benefits-of-dental-implants-over-other-treatments\/\">dental implants actually increase bone density<\/a> and keep your jaw strong.<\/li>\n<li><u>Better Speech &amp; Chewing<\/u> \u2013 Your teeth not only make your smile look great, they\u2019re a vital part of speaking and digesting food. Since the implants will stay in place and won\u2019t wiggle, you\u2019ll be able to eat all your favorite foods, and you\u2019ll never have to worry about mumbling or being misunderstood when you talk.<\/li>\n<li><u>Protect Natural Teeth<\/u> \u2013 When you lose teeth, the ones that remain shift to fill in the extra space, which causes alignment issues and puts them at risk for breaks and chips. Your dental implant will keep the rest of your teeth safe by making sure they stay in proper position.<\/li>\n<li><u>Appearance<\/u> \u2013 Although dentures, partials, and bridges work just fine, implants look better because they blend right in with your natural teeth. The porcelain will match your natural grin perfectly.<\/li>\n<li><u>Longevity &amp; Cost<\/u> \u2013 While other replacement options may be less expensive up front, you\u2019ll actually save money with a dental implant over the course of a lifetime. Dental implants can last indefinitely with proper treatment, as opposed to dentures and bridges that last 15 years, max, and will need to be replaced.<\/li>\n<li><u>Stay-Put Smile<\/u> \u2013 Who wants to put their smile in a cup at night? You won\u2019t have to worry about the embarrassment of removable dentures in your daily life, even when you kiss your sweetheart. And, you can say goodbye to messy dental adhesives, too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know that dental implants are the best option for you, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dgdental.com\/request-an-appointment.html\">schedule your appointment<\/a> with D&amp;G Dental today and make your smile healthy and bright again!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you\u2019ve gotten older, everything has changed \u2013 including your smile.
