Why Are Dental Implants So Popular?

Every year more than half a million people get dental implants. That’s no surprise considering over 150 million people have lost at least one tooth and the average number of teeth lost by age 50 is 12.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

1. Implants provide a long-lasting solution

Dental implants with Dr. Starbody are designed as a long-lasting solution. Through the process of osseointegration, the titanium used in your dental implant biologically fuses with your bone, spurring bone growth to strengthen your jawbone, and ensuring lasting results. The implant essentially plants new roots in your jaw to help maintain your facial shape and provide long-term bite stabilization.

2. Implants are cost-effective

‍Would you rather make a one-time investment in permanent tooth replacement or replace your bridges or dentures every 7 to 15 years? Implants may involve a higher investment on the front end, but they also provide a much greater return over the life of your smile.  

3. Implants look great

Dr. Starbody custom shades and shapes your dental implant teeth to fit naturally in your existing smile. In terms of beauty, strength, and function, the only difference between your real teeth and dental implants is that they're not real.

4. Implants are easy to care for

Unlike the teeth you were born with, modern implants do not decay or get cavities. Bacteria and food particles still need to be brushed away to maintain healthy gums, but oral hygiene is much easier as implants behave like normal teeth.  

5. Implants promote oral health

Different from a tooth-supported bridge, dental implants do not require damaging other teeth to support the implant. With more of your teeth preserved, implants lead to better long-term oral health.
