A dental implant is a long-term tooth replacement option that mimics the structure of a natural tooth. It involves placing a titanium post (or screw) into the jawbone, which acts like a tooth root, and then attaching a crown (artificial tooth) on top.Here are 6 compelling reasons to consider dental implants if you're missing one or more teeth.
1. Permanent and Durable Solution - Dental implants are designed to last for decades or even a lifetime with proper care. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants fuse with your jawbone (a process called osseointegration), providing long-term stability.
2. Improved Chewing and Speech - Because implants function like natural teeth, they restore your bite strength and allow you to chew food comfortably. They also help you speak more clearly by eliminating issues caused by missing teeth or loose dentures.
3. Natural Look and Feel - Dental implants are custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your existing teeth. They look incredibly natural and feel like real teeth, restoring your smile and confidence.
4. Preserves Jawbone and Facial Structure - When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area can shrink over time. Implants stimulate the bone just like natural tooth roots, helping maintain bone density and prevent facial sagging or a sunken appearance.
5. No Impact on Adjacent Teeth - Unlike dental bridges that may require filing down healthy teeth to support the structure, implants are placed independently. This preserves the integrity of your natural teeth.
6. Low Maintenance - Caring for implants is simple — just brush, floss, and visit your dentist regularly. There’s no need for adhesives, special cleaning routines, or removal like with traditional dentures.
In Singapore, dental implants are often done in stages by specialists and may be Medisave-claimable depending on your condition. Always consult with a qualified implant dentist to evaluate your suitability.
