When you need to replace missing teeth, you want something that lasts. That’s where dental implants come in. Carlos L. Benavides Davila, DDS, and the team at Buena Vida Dental Studio are here to help. Dr. Benavides walks you through the entire process, ensuring you receive a replacement that feels secure.
Here are some of the benefits of dental implants and how they can change your life.
Most of us have seen the viral video where a grandmother’s dentures fly out of her mouth at Thanksgiving dinner. That’s not a problem with dental implants. They’re anchored right into your jawbone, just like a natural tooth root. This gives you stability. You can finally eat the foods you’ve been avoiding. Go ahead and order the steak, bite into an apple. You don’t have to worry about your teeth shifting. It just feels normal again.
Nobody wants to keep fixing the same problem. Dental implants are a long-lasting fix. With good care, they can last for decades. Often for a lifetime. The maintenance is simple. You just brush and floss them like your natural teeth. You’ll also need to keep up with your regular checkups with Dr. Benavides. This affects your investment. It’s a smart move.
Even one missing tooth can throw everything off. It makes chewing awkward. It can make you feel self-conscious. A single tooth implant fixes this. Dr. Benavides places a small titanium post in your jaw. Then, he attaches a custom-made crown on top. It’s matched to blend in. “The goal,” as Dr. Benavides says, “is for you to forget it’s even there.”
When you have a few teeth missing together in a row, it changes how you eat. A traditional bridge has to be attached to your own teeth. But an implant bridge is different. It uses dental implants as the anchors. This means your healthy adjacent teeth are left alone. The bridge is locked securely onto the implants; it’s a solid fix that feels much more stable.
If you’re tired of traditional dentures that slip, click, or need messy adhesives, there’s a better way. Implant-retained dentures use a few implants to securely lock your denture in place. It snaps on securely. No more slipping. You can talk, laugh, and eat without that constant worry. Patients find they can finally enjoy their meals. It’s a huge change in day-to-day life.
