Are dental implants worth it?

Implants are definitely worth the time and money—here’s why: Lower dental costs, less dental work: When you bite and chew with dental implants, that pressure stimulates your jawbone and keeps it in good shape. Bridges and dentures don’t do that which can cause your jawbone to erode. You wind up with serious and expensive dental problems like loose teeth, extractions and more. Outlasts bridges and dentures: Dental implants can last for decades whereas traditional bridges usually need replacement every five to ten years. Look and feel like your natural teeth: Dental implants have another big advantage: comfort. Of all of the available tooth replacement options, dental implants look, feel, and perform most like your natural teeth.
