Cyprus Family Dental: Benefits of Dental Implants

WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah - Aug. 1, 2016 - PRLog -- According to the American College of Prosthodontics, 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. While many see cosmetics as the main reason for replacing lost teeth, it's not widely understood that these missing teeth can invite a number of oral health risks. First, there is the potential for decay in the area of the jaw that supports the teeth. Just 1 year after losing a tooth, there is a 25% recession in that section of the jawbone. Missing teeth also invite changes in alignment, which can make it harder to keep teeth and gums clean and healthy. Further, the gums in the space of lost teeth are susceptible to gum disease, as it's often difficult to thoroughly clean those areas.

There are treatments out there to deal with missing teeth, but none are as effective as dental implants. By surgically implanting a titanium rod into the jawbone, these devices are stronger than most other treatments. The titanium rod also prevents jaw decay and gum recession -- something that other restorative dental services fail to provide. Dental implant treatment boasts a 90%-98% success rate in patients, making it one of the most consistent and effective treatments for missing teeth.
