Regain your natural-looking, functional, and complete smile: Four benefits of replacing teeth with implants

By Dr. Even Olson

Technologies are not a substitute for talented people. But investments in sophisticated systems support our ability to provide the “latest and greatest” options to replace missing teeth. A Fellow of The Implant Pathway Surgical Program and Member of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, Dr. Evan Olson has demonstrated expertise in the placement and restoration of dental implants. Patients of Alpine Family Dental have confidence that their procedure is performed to the highest quality and safety standards. Leaning into considerable knowledge, our team in Kalispell, Montana, is pleased to share some of the top benefits of implants as a permanent tooth replacement solution.

Benefit No. 1: Utmost stability

Prosthetic teeth (crowns, bridges, and dentures) that are supported by dental implants are not going anywhere! Dr. Olson precisely inserts these implants into the jawbone. They are made from materials designed to integrate with the surrounding bone. Once the implant is stabilized in the jaw, it provides a secure and solid foundation for the prosthetic tooth that is later attached to it.

Benefit No. 2: Exceptional comfort

Many benefits stem from the unsurpassed stability associated with dental implants. No other type of tooth replacement is designed like a natural tooth. Implant-supported restorations are the next best thing we have for natural teeth. They replace the natural tooth root with an implant as well as the natural crown or visible part of the tooth above the gums. A minimal number of implants are used to stabilize a maximum number of teeth as part of an implant-retained bridge or denture. Since the prosthetic is “rooted” in the jawbone with implants, it will not become loose and shift around. This feature promotes the most comfortable chewing function. It also helps to prevent the sores associated with ill-fitting conventional dentures.

Benefit No. 3: A lifetime of healthy function and beautiful smiles

Implants are built to last a lifetime. Since implants help to keep the supportive bone in the jaw strong and healthy, your prosthetic continues to fit well. Proper fit supports continued chewing and speech function and lasting patient satisfaction. Conventional dentures may replace the parts of the teeth that are visible above the gum line, but they do not provide the stimulation necessary for the jawbone to stay strong. When bone loss arises, the supportive tissues of the face shrink, and the facial shape is altered. The denture may need to be replaced or at least relined or rebased to maintain a proper fit. This complication is avoided with implants. So, implants provide a truly permanent solution to tooth loss.

Benefit No. 4: A great value

Thanks to the above point, implants are a terrific investment in your smile. While they may cost a little more upfront, you can’t beat the ease of maintenance and cost savings over the longer term. With good care, as advised by your dental partners at Alpine Family Dental, your implant teeth can continue to look, feel, and function as the day they were restored!
