People are living longer than ever, and while regular brushing, flossing, and checkups allow many of us to maintain our natural smiles for a lifetime, sometimes our teeth just can't keep up. If you've lost a tooth (or a few teeth) due to injury or disease, dental implants from Fond du Lac Family Dentistry can rejuvenate both your smile and your oral health. Dr. Daniel Stevens and Dr. Jake Wallock, our Fond du Lac, WI dentists, offer a full range of dental services including dental implants.

An implant is essentially a synthetic tooth root in the shape of a post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. The implant post is usually made of titanium: the same material used in many replacement hips and knees, and a metal that is well-suited to pairing with human bone. A replacement tooth (crown) is then fixed to the post. 

The ideal candidate for dental implants is a non-smoker who has good oral health, including a sufficient amount of bone in the jaw, and healthy gums with no sign of gum disease.

5 Extraordinary Benefits of Implants

Thinking about getting implants from your Fond du Lac dentist? Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement. Here are five extraordinary benefits of dental implants. 

#1- Beautify Your Smile

Missing teeth can ruin a beautiful smile. Dental implants can fill in your smile's gaps and improve your appearance. Dental implants are the next best thing to natural teeth. With dental implants, you will look and feel younger and more attractive.

#2- Improve Oral Function

Dental implants fit, feel, and act like natural teeth. Missing teeth can make it difficult for people to pronounce certain words. Dental implants can improve your clarity of speech. Tooth loss can also make it difficult for people to chew food. With dental implants, you will experience a dramatic improvement in chewing ability.

#3- Stop Jawbone Loss

The most common cause of jawbone loss is a missing tooth left unreplaced. Dental implants help to prevent bone loss and stimulate bone growth. Dental implants distribute chewing forces throughout the bone and minimize the wearing away of the bone.

#4- Prevent Teeth Shifting

Although your teeth feel as if they are set in the jawbone, they are capable of drifting out of place. When people lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth begin to shift out of place. Dental implants can prevent your existing teeth from moving out of place. 

#5- Increase Your Self-Esteem

Losing a tooth can be a traumatic experience for many people. Tooth loss can lead to low self-esteem which can affect the quality of a people's lives in many different ways. Dental implants can restore your smile and help you feel better about yourself.

Missing one or more teeth? Dental implants will make your dream of a gorgeous smile a reality.
