Whether you're missing one, two, or even all of your natural teeth, dental implants can transform the way you talk, eat, and feel about your 
appearance. These amazing restorations are a regular part of Dr. Peter Cooper's periodontal practice in Pasadena, CA, and he's contributed some information about their benefits for this post.
Why dental implants are necessary
It might surprise you to learn that losing your permanent teeth is not a normal part of the aging process. Nevertheless, tooth loss does happen, whether it's due to an accident, decay, or another restoration such as a crown or root canal that has deteriorated over time. While other dental restorations help to restore your looks and eating capabilities, they have their limitations because they only replace the visible part of the tooth. Without the roots of every tooth firmly in place, the rest of the natural teeth can begin to shift, leading to bone loss, alignment problems, and loss of more teeth. Dental implants from your Pasadena periodontist "trick" the natural teeth into functioning normally because they replace the entire tooth from roots to crown.
Benefits of dental implants
One of the most obvious and talked-about advantages of dental implants is how realistic they look. While it's true - there is no visible hardware and the porcelain crowns look very natural - dental implants are more than just a "pretty face." They offer unmatched stability in terms of being able to eat comfortably, they do not require removal or special tools for cleaning, and they can last a lifetime with proper care. All of these benefits and more make dental implants the best choice for replacing any teeth you may have lost over the years.
