A dental implant<\/a> is a great way to replace your missing tooth because it offers unique advantages that other methods don\u2019t. It includes a rod that is inserted into your jawbone, which eventually fuses around it. Then it\u2019s capped with a tooth-shaped cover customized to look like your other pearly whites. The result is a replacement that looks and feels just like the one you lost with no one the wiser! Not only that, but this also provides the necessary stimulation for your jawbone to stay strong and healthy once your tooth goes missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this, many patients opt for other methods, like dentures or dental bridges, which seem like more affordable choices. You might not spend as much in the moment if you decide on one of these alternatives, but in the long run, you may actually end up spending more! Keep reading to learn 3 ways dental implants save money down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Way #1: Dental Implants Are a Lifelong Investment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are so effective that they can last up to 30 years with the right care. That\u2019s the equivalent of a lifetime! This is the only replacement that lasts so long. For comparison, dental bridges and dentures have a lifespan somewhere between 5 to 15 years if you care for them diligently and they don\u2019t require readjustments at any point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price tag for dental implants may be a bit higher initially, but your investment will pay off because you won\u2019t need to restore it anytime soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Way #2: Dental Implants Stand Alone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another benefit that\u2019s unique to dental implants is that once they\u2019re in place, they do not need your other teeth or gums to stay put. Dental bridges, meanwhile, rely on remaining natural teeth to stay in place. Dentures rest on your gums and are notorious for dislodging when you least expect it. Patients frequently lose bridges or implants and end up buying new ones. You can count on your dental implant to stay firmly rooted so that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Way #3: Dental Implants Have a High Success Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might worry that you\u2019ll lose out on your investment if your dental implant fails. Thankfully, it\u2019s a highly effective solution with a 97% success rate! If you follow your dentist\u2019s instructions for follow-up care, it\u2019s highly likely that your implant will perform exactly as intended. That means the chances of needing correction post-procedure are slim. Other options like dentures, for example, often require relining or readjustment which means additional dental visits and materials to pay for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been considering dental implants but have felt held back by your budget, keep in mind these 3 reasons why the investment is worthwhile. Soon you can have a replacement tooth that looks and functions just like a real one for years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
