Learn about dental implants and how they can restore your smile.
If you’ve been thinking about getting dental implants at Summerville Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Augusta, chances are pretty good that 
you have spent a lot of time weighing the pros and cons of this treatment. After all, since it does require several treatments and can take several months to complete, it’s important to go into this treatment knowing everything first. However, despite the length of treatment and the multiple treatments, getting dental implants offers a variety of benefits that other treatment options can’t:
Get a natural, durable smile: Dental implants are designed to look and function just like a natural tooth. The implant acts as a tooth’s root to hold the dental crown securely in place. Since the implant is made from titanium you can expect an implant that is strong and resilient, just like a real tooth.
Your smile stays put: Dentures can cause your smile to move around while eating and talking, which can be frustrating and downright annoying. However, since the tissue and bone surrounding your implant will fuse with it, your implant isn’t going anywhere. Enjoy your favorite foods or talking with colleagues with the embarrassing clicking sounds or slippage that dentures or even bridges can cause.
Amp up your self-esteem: A smile is one of the first things someone might notice about you, so what does your smile currently say about you? A healthy smile can go a long way for both your professional and personal lives and it’s important to have the confidence to boot. However, tooth loss can affect anyone’s self-confidence. Gain your self-esteem back when you opt for dental implants in Augusta at Summerville Family and Cosmetic Dentistry.
Protect bone health: When you lose a permanent tooth the other teeth will begin to shift into the open space if left untreated. This can cause jawbone loss and affect the overall structure of your face (cheeks often begin to sink in and sag). However, getting dental implants in Augusta can prevent this from happening. In fact, not only is your facial structure and jawbone preserved but dental implants also promote the growth of new bone cells.
