How Dental Implants Protect Oral Health
2 February 2023
When it comes to tooth replacement options, dental implants stand out as a superior choice not only for their aesthetic benefits but also for their remarkable impact on oral health. Dental implants go beyond restoring the appearance of your smile; they also provide significant improvements in your oral health and overall well-being. Let’s explore how dental implants can improve your oral health and contribute to a healthier mouth.
Preservation of Jawbone Health
One of the key advantages of dental implants is their ability to preserve jawbone health. When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can start to deteriorate over time due to the lack of stimulation that comes from chewing and biting. This bone loss can lead to a sunken appearance and compromise the integrity of the remaining teeth.
Dental implants replace the missing tooth roots and integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This integration stimulates the jawbone, preventing bone resorption and preserving its strength and density. By maintaining the health of the jawbone, dental implants provide a solid foundation for the replacement teeth and support the overall stability of your oral structures.
Prevention of Shifting and Misalignment
When a tooth is missing, the adjacent teeth can start to shift and move into the gap, leading to misalignment and bite problems. This shifting can result in an uneven distribution of chewing forces, which can cause excessive wear on the remaining teeth and increase the risk of dental issues such as tooth decay and gum disease.
Dental implants fill the gaps left by missing teeth, effectively preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting and maintaining proper alignment. By preserving the natural spacing and alignment of your teeth, dental implants contribute to a balanced bite and reduce the risk of dental complications associated with misalignment.
Protection of Natural Teeth
Unlike traditional tooth replacement options such as dental bridges, which rely on the support of adjacent teeth, dental implants are self-supporting. They do not require the alteration or preparation of healthy adjacent teeth for support. This means that your natural teeth remain intact and unaffected by the dental implant procedure.
Preserving your natural teeth is crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. With dental implants, you can protect your remaining teeth from unnecessary damage or strain, promoting their longevity and reducing the likelihood of future dental problems.
Improved Oral Hygiene
Maintaining proper oral hygiene is essential for a healthy mouth. Traditional dentures or bridges can make oral hygiene routines challenging, as they need to be removed for cleaning and can accumulate bacteria and plaque underneath. This can lead to gum inflammation, bad breath, and potential dental infections.
Dental implants, on the other hand, function like natural teeth and can be brushed and flossed just like your natural teeth. There are no additional cleaning routines or special products required. By allowing for easy and effective oral hygiene practices, dental implants promote a clean and healthy mouth, reducing the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health issues.
Enhanced Confidence in Dental Health
Missing teeth can take a toll on your confidence and self-esteem. They can make you self-conscious about your smile and hesitant to engage in social interactions. Dental implants provide a comprehensive solution that restores your smile and improves your oral health, leading to enhanced confidence in your dental health.
With dental implants, you can regain a complete and natural-looking smile, knowing that your oral health is also benefiting from the treatment. This confidence in your dental health can positively impact various aspects of your life, from personal relationships to professional opportunities. Choosing dental implants can be a transformative step towards achieving a healthier and more confident smile.

What Our Patients Say
Dr Nell is a fantastic dentist. Jolly, reassuring, and extremely knowledgeable. I am sad to be leaving and moving out of the area, as he and his team are outstanding.
Fantastic! Extremely welcoming and very friendly, great advice, very professional, sensible pricing. I’m a new customer and like many perhaps anxious moving to a new practice, but I felt completely at ease and comfortable throughout, it’s refreshing to have ‘old school’ service and logical advice. I can highly recommend these ladies and gents! 😁

Joined this new local dental practice on 10/5/23 and had my 6 monthly checkup with dentist, having previously filled out online health questionnaire & having had my dental history sent from previous practice. It was the most thorough checkup ever. Everyone was very caring & very professional. Very informative Dentist, charming dental nurse and friendly reception staff. Booked hygienist for the following week. Very impressed with my first visit. Its very local to me which is a bonus. Would definitely recommend the practice.Thank you Coniston.
