When comparing tooth replacement options, dental implants consistently come out on top. Unlike bridges, implants do not require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth. Unlike dentures, they do not slip or require adhesives. Implants stand on their own, just like natural teeth.
Another significant advantage is bone preservation. When you lose a tooth, the jawbone in that area begins to deteriorate. Implants stimulate the bone just like natural tooth roots, preventing the bone loss that leads to a sunken facial appearance over time.
Dental implants also have an impressive success rate of over 95 percent and can last a lifetime with proper care. At My Scottsdale Dentist, we use premium implant systems and advanced planning technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
