Have you considered dental implants as a replacement option?
Dental implants are a long-term replacement solution that can last for decades or even a lifetime. 🦾 We offer Titanium implants from both our Kelowna offices.
A Titanium implant is a small, bio-compatible post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. ✅
Over time, the bone fuses with the implant, providing unmatched stability and strength. 🦷🦴😁 If you want to read more about this service click here.
A benefit for choosing dental implants versus a traditional dental bridge is that dental implants assist in maintaining bone density for several key reasons:
- Preservation of Natural Stimulation: When you chew and bite, these implants transmit the forces of mastication to the bone, just like natural teeth. This stimulation prevents bone resorption, helping to maintain bone density over time.
- Osseointegration: creates a stable and robust foundation. This firm connection ensures that the jawbone continues to receive the necessary signals for regeneration, preventing bone loss.
- No Anchoring to Adjacent Teeth: Dental implants, on the other hand, do not compromise the integrity of adjacent teeth, preserving their health and bone structure.
- Long-Term Solution: In contrast, bridges may need replacement every 10-15 years, which can contribute to bone loss due to the repeated adjustments and procedures required.
