However, they are associated with a large price tag. Are they worth the cost? Yes! Here are 5 reasons dental implants are worth every penny.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Close Replica of Natural Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional tooth replacement methods only recreate the portions of lost teeth above the gum line. A dental implant is unique because it is the only treatment to replace both the root and the crown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to mimic a root. It will be hidden below the gum to support a customized restoration that&#8217;s attached using an abutment. You&#8217;ll enjoy results that closely look and feel natural using the next best thing to a real tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Stop Bone Loss in Your Jaw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing teeth cause your jaw to shrink slowly, which can lead to additional tooth loss and change the shape of your face. You can lose 25% of your jaw&#8217;s density within the first year of losing a tooth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental implant is the only method to stop bone loss because it replaces the root. The implant post will stimulate new bone growth to keep your jaw healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Improves Your Oral Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your jaw strong protects any remaining natural teeth from dental drift. You&#8217;ll stop your teeth from shifting, reducing your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and additional missing teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll improve your oral health and lessen your need for restorative treatments later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Reduces Long-Term Dental Expenses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only will you avoid needing dental work later, but you&#8217;ll also save money down the road because you won&#8217;t have to budget for replacements. A dental implant is proven to last for 30 years or longer with the right aftercare, like brushing and flossing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They can eventually pay for themselves because you won&#8217;t need replacements every few years, like with bridges and dentures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Peace of Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are a big investment, but you&#8217;ll have peace of mind knowing your new smile can last for decades. A dental implant has over a 95% success rate, providing a reliable solution for tooth loss that&#8217;s unlikely to fail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although dental implants may cost more than traditional methods initially, they are the most cost-effective overall. They are more affordable than you might realize. You won&#8217;t have to come up with a lump sum because the process takes many steps, giving you more time to pay. Your dental insurance may even cover a portion of the cost. Many dentists also accept payment plans through CareCredit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t settle for anything less than the best. You&#8217;ll never have to worry about an incomplete smile again with dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Wael M.
