Did you know that dental implants are widely accepted as the best option to replace missing teeth? Dr. Michael Curtis places and restores dental implants at his Bridgeport, Trumbull dental office. Here are some reasons why you should consider replacing missing teeth with dental implants.

1. Improved quality of life. Removable dentures can make a person appear older, cause embarrassment if they slip or click, and cause discomfort when eating or chewing. Implant dentures are permanently secured, offering much greater comfort and stability.

2. Affordable tooth replacement option. Dental implants last most patients a lifetime, unlike other tooth replacement options which must be replaced every 8 to 10 years, saving you time and money in the long run.

3. 98% success rate. Replacement of missing teeth with dental implants is backed by 50 years of research, and scientific journals report that dental implants have an overall success rate of 98.5%.

4. Tooth-preserving effects. Because dental implants don’t rely on surrounding teeth for support, they won’t cause additional tooth loss, and they will prevent teeth from shifting to fill the empty space.

5. A more youthful appearance. Missing teeth will lead to significant bone loss, resulting in a shrunken or sagging facial appearance. Replacing teeth with dental implants will promote bone regeneration and support a full-facial profile for a more youthful appearance.

6. Wide range of eligibility. Candidates for dental implants can be young, middle-aged, or older adults. Even patients with health concerns like existing medical conditions, gum disease, and bone loss can receive dental implants with a little additional planning.                                                                                             

7. Convenience. Dr. Michael Curtis is a qualified implant dentist with advanced training in oral surgery and implant placement. He will see you through the entire dental implant process in the safety and comfort of his Bridgeport, Trumbull dental office.
