Besides your health and wellness, you have another reason to be grateful this year. You have invested in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hillavenuedental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a>! Here are just a few reasons to give your new smile a little appreciation.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Look Natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental implant is the only treatment to mimic both the root and the crown. A titanium post is hidden below your gum tissue to support your customized restoration that blends in with your real teeth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It looks like a real tooth, so you won&#8217;t think twice about showing off your teeth when smiling. Only a trained dental professional can tell it isn&#8217;t natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Never Worry About Slipping&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With your jawbone fused to your dental implant through a process called osseointegration, you&#8217;ll never need to worry about slipping or irritation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You regain 70% of your biting force, so you can enjoy a variety of foods. Your new tooth will feel natural to savor your favorite holiday meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long-Lasting Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants have over a 95% success rate and can thrive for 30 years or more. Your new smile can last for decades with the right care, like brushing and flossing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll never need to budget for replacements for added peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preserve Your Jawbone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing a single tooth can cause you to lose 25% of your jaw&#8217;s density in the first year, which continues to shrink as more time passes. You don&#8217;t have to be concerned about bone loss because your dental implant will keep your jaw healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The implant post stimulates your bone to encourage new growth. This improves your oral health and overall wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Look Years Younger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth loss is attributed to being elderly. Researchers have found that replacing a lost tooth can take 10 years off your appearance. Your dental implant turned back the clock to restore a youthful, vibrant smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save Money Down the Road<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in a dental implant gives you more money in your pocket because you won&#8217;t have to pay for a replacement every few years, like with other methods. You&#8217;ll also avoid common issues caused by tooth loss, so you&#8217;re less likely to need costly dental work later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of dental implants are priceless. You can be thankful for your complete smile year after year because you chose the most successful solution for tooth replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. H.
