Dental implants restore smiles in Vandalia and Huber Heights
You probably know a little bit about dental implants — maybe someone in your family has already had them. What you may not realize, however, is that dental implants are by far the best replacement option your smile has got. Why? Very good question…
Dental implants become one with your mouth
There’s no guessing at what makes dental implants your best choice in tooth replacement. Unlike other fixes, fixed bridges or non-implant supported dentures, for example, dental implants replace the missing tooth and its root. And through a process called osseointegration, the implants and your jawbone fuse together — giving you the sturdy, healthy base your tooth replacement needs for a lifetime of healthy use.
Numerous advantages of dental implants
Given the fact that dental implants become one with your mouth, the advantages of choosing this option are many. Some include the following:
- Increased oral health. Osseointegration keeps your jawbone healthy and whole, meaning you never have to worry about your mouth degenerating as a result of your missing teeth. That also keeps the shape your mouth more youthful looking and prevents further tooth loss later on.
- Restored ability to eat, speak and smile, without the added hassle of messy denture creams. Teeth restored with dental implants fit securely in, every single time — no mess or fuss required.
- Dental implants are simple to care for, and when maintained properly, they can be expected to last the wearer’s lifetime.

Candidates for dental implants
If you’d like to know whether or not you’re a good candidate for dental implants, we’d love to provide you with more information about your tooth replacement. When you schedule your appointment with Dr. Striebel and his team, we’ll check for two things: to make sure you’ve got enough supporting jawbone structure to begin with, and that your oral and overall health are in suitable condition.
