Read on to learn about the benefits both have to offer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacing Missing Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever you lose a permanent tooth, it\u2019s important to\nreplace it as soon as possible to reduce future harm to your mouth. When the\nroots of your teeth are no longer stimulating your jawbone and oral tissues by\nproviding proper blood flow, it can cause your bone to deteriorate. Not to\nmention, gaps in your mouth will cause your existing natural teeth to drift out\nof place and make it difficult to eat and speak. So, no matter what option you choose,\nit\u2019s important to look into restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not everybody is a good candidate for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highlandsmilesdental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental\nimplants<\/a>. That\u2019s why the first step of the procedure is to schedule a\nconsultation with your dentist in Uptown. They\u2019ll take several images of your\nmouth and conduct a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. Once they\u2019ve\ncollected all the data they need, they\u2019ll be able to let you know if dental\nimplants are a good choice for you. Here are some qualities that make a good\nimplant candidate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Sufficient jawbone density.<\/li><li>Good oral health. <\/li><li>No autoimmune diseases.<\/li><li>Few bad oral habits such as smoking.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of these factors can be addressed, such as a\ndeteriorated jawbone, with preparatory procedures such as a bone graft. Your\ndentist will simply include the procedure in your treatment timeline. Before\nthey schedule your implant surgery you\u2019ll need to heal, so preparatory procedures\ncan make your timeline slightly longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of Each <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both dental implants and dentures offer their own unique\nbenefits. Here is a side-by-side comparison of the predominant advantages of\nboth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dental Implants:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Long-lasting restorative solution.<\/li><li>Better oral health.<\/li><li>Replace the entire structure of missing teeth.<\/li><li>Doesn\u2019t rely on natural suction for stability. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dentures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Shorter procedure timeline.<\/li><li>Custom-fitted replacement teeth. <\/li><li>Natural-looking restoration. <\/li><li>Lasts for several years. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While these aren\u2019t all of the benefits that both have to\noffer, it\u2019s a good starting-list to help you form some questions to ask your\nrestoration dentist.
