A Permanent Option for False Teeth

by | Dec 11, 2012 | Dental Care

If you are missing teeth, you know how difficult it can be to go about your daily life and perform activities such as eating, speaking, and even just brushing your teeth. Some people choose to have their teeth replaced with dentures or bridges but these are temporary options. Have you considered dental implants in Rochester Hills as a viable alternative?

Dental implants are a permanent option to removable denture pieces. The removable pieces may seem like a cost effective, less pain option but they can cause their own set of problems. Because they are removable, there can be gaps and movement that causes irritation in your mouth. Food can get stuck in between the piece and your natural gum which can cause bacteria to grow and even with proper brushing your breath can begin to smell badly. The advantage to removable pieces is that the can be made quickly and painlessly. The teeth surrounding the implant do not have to be prepped and the down time is much less. The dentures and bridges are cheaper than the implants and the insurance carriers will usually cover a higher percentage of the cost. Regular dental visits are necessary to ensure your gum health and commitment to good oral hygiene.

Permanent implants in Rochester Hills are more expensive and require more work, which can be painful. In order to have implants, you must have a strong bone structure and good oral health. It is a surgical procedure so it can be painful with a long downtime where you won’t be able to do too much or chew much. It can be well worth the pain in the long run as the implants in Rochester Hills will last longer and be more stable for your mouth. They won’t move around causing you pain and irritation. They also cannot be lost or broken by accident. It can be tedious to remove your tooth pieces for a certain meal or at night and then misplace them. Replacing them can be expensive and so can their overall care. In the long run, it can be more economical to just have the implants put in so that you have a permanent replacement for the teeth you are missing. Not only will it give you peace of mind for your mouth but it can be easier to clean on a regular basis.
