However, as we age, our mouth and teeth age as well. If not cared for properly, teeth can become damaged beyond repair and sometimes need to be removed completely. According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nidcr.nih.gov\/DataStatistics\/FindDataByTopic\/ToothLoss\/ToothLossAdults20to64.htm\">National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research<\/a>, people between the ages of 50 to 64 years have an average of 22.30 teeth, meaning that people in this age group have already lost approximately six teeth (not including wisdom teeth).<\/p>\n<h2>Top 5 Benefits of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most effective ways to replace these missing teeth is with dental implants. An implant is a screw-like piece of titanium that is surgically inserted into a patient\u2019s jaw bone. The top of the implant is then covered by a custom created crown to match your existing set of teeth. Here\u2019s a look at some of the benefits of dental implants:<\/p>\n<h2>Benefit #1 &#8211; Long-term solution<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike traditional bridges that last 5-10 years, implants are made to last a lifetime. If properly cared for, implants should never have to be replaced.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefit #2 &#8211; Appears natural<\/h2>\n<p>Implants are covered with custom tooth-colored crowns to make your smile appear healthy and natural.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefit #3 &#8211; Functions like a natural tooth<\/h2>\n<p>Eat, drink, talk, and smile as if you haven\u2019t lost any of your teeth! Implants are stable and strong and allow you to go on with your day-to-day activities without worrying about your missing teeth.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefit #4 &#8211; Easy to care for<\/h2>\n<p>Implants should be cared for just as you would care for natural teeth. Brush and floss regularly, and attend your biannual dental cleanings.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefit #5 &#8211; Protect your remaining healthy teeth<\/h2>\n<p>When a tooth is lost, over time, it can cause your teeth to shift and your bone structure to sag. An implant replaces a tooth at its root, so it won\u2019t damage other teeth in the mouth, like a bridge might. By filling in the gap of the missing tooth, you will prevent any shifting and deformation.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.drwolnik.com\/dental-implants.php\">Dental Implant Services<\/a> provided by Dr. Wolnik.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Dental &amp; Cosmetic Implants in Parma Heights, Ohio<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If you need to restore your smile, contact Dr. Wolnik in Parma Heights today to learn more about the benefits of dental implants and to see if implants are the best solution for your situation.
