Why should I replace a missing tooth with a dental implant?

At Fontenot Family Dentistry, we offer several tooth replacement options, but dental implants are the most popular for several reasons: 

Improved oral health: A dental implant is designed to mimic a natural tooth’s function and structure. This helps maintain proper spacing of remaining teeth and prevents other teeth from moving and shifting out of place.

Improved appearance: Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant that looks like the real thing improves your appearance and can boost your confidence.

Improved functionality: A dental implant is firmly anchored in your jawbone, providing a foundation for the replacement tooth called an implant crown. The result is greater stability when chewing and the ability to eat the foods you love.

Long-lasting: With proper care, a tooth implant can last a lifetime, unlike dentures or bridges.

Better jawbone health: When you lose a tooth, the jawbone begins to break down. An implant stimulates the jawbone, prevents further loss, and maintains the integrity of your jaw.
