Today we\u2019re going to compare <strong>dental implants<\/strong> to other tooth replacement methods to see why they\u2019re the most effective option to restore the health, appearance and function of your smile. At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/\">South Shore Dental Care<\/a>, we want our patients to be fully informed about all their smile choices.<\/p>\n<p>When people think of replacing missing teeth, their first thought is often dentures. Dentures are a traditional way to help restore function if you\u2019ve lost all or nearly all of your teeth. However, they\u2019re removable, so there\u2019s always the risk of them slipping or coming loose in public.<\/p>\n<p>Crowns and bridges can also be used to replace missing teeth. While these can be sturdier than dentures, they don\u2019t do anything about the missing tooth roots. Your tooth roots are important because without them, you could lose bone from your jaw.<\/p>\n<p>Only <strong>dental implants<\/strong> give you a secure fit while creating a replacement tooth root to ensure the health of your jaw bone. <strong>Dental implants <\/strong>not only stop any further bone loss, but they can sometimes encourage growth of the jaw bone to replace what has been lost.<\/p>\n<p>At <strong>South Shore Dental Care<\/strong>, we\u2019re committed to providing our patients with a wide array of dental services, high-quality cosmetic dentistry, and up to the minute dental technology. Our <strong>Massapequa dental office <\/strong>serves patients from <strong>Long Island, Merrick, Bellmore, and Wantagh. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilesofstyle.com\/contact.html\">Call us today<\/a> to schedule your appointment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last time, we talked about dental implants and why they\u2019re important for the health of your smile.
