Strong jawbones deserve strong teeth. However, sometimes accidents do happen. If you should suffer an oral accident and lose any of your precious permanent teeth, there is still hope for a full smile. Tooth replacement treatments such as dental implants can restore your smile and even strengthen your jawbone.

The reason implants are so beneficial to your jawbone is because they are directly installed into them. If you fail to replace missing teeth, over time your jaw can deteriorate and decay. However, with dental implants in place, and via a bone-to-implant process called osseointegration, not only will your jawbone strengthen, but so to can the hold between the bone and the implant.

Although dental implants are not removable, they are extremely durable and guaranteed to hold for many meals that even denture wearers often have to avoid, including tough steaks and meats. In addition, dental implants can last a lifetime of wear and tear. If they need to be replaced or repaired for any reason, the process can be done quickly and easily.
