Dental Implants: A Feasible Restorative Treatment for Seniors!

Many people start losing teeth in their senior years due to decay, damage, or gum disease. Dental implants are a feasible solution for seniors who want to replace lost teeth permanently. Dental Care of Boca Raton has you covered if you’re a senior seeking a skilled dentist to perform dental tooth implant procedures. Dr. David Kagan and team are your go-to implant dentists in the Boca Raton, Florida, area. 

Why Implants are Good for Seniors

Missing teeth can ruin your smile, make eating difficult, and impair your quality of life. Dental implants can restore these aspects of your oral health and more! Replacing lost teeth with implants gives you back your ability to chew, clarity of speech, beautiful smile, and confidence to enjoy senior living to the fullest. 

Implants require surgery to insert the titanium tooth roots into your jaw, or dental experts will perform a thorough oral evaluation to confirm you’re a good candidate for this treatment. We’ll assess your overall, oral, and bone health to see if you have sufficient bone density to support implants. We’ll also review your lifestyle habits, as these can impact the success of your treatment. 

Implant surgery is the first step in the implant procedure. Then comes a waiting period of around 4 to 6 months for the implants to fuse with your jaw. This process is essential to the success of your treatment as it gives the implants the stability to support your new teeth. Once the fusing is complete, we will attach a crown, bridge, or dentures to complete your smile. The benefits of implants include:

• Better Nutrition  

Implants restore your chewing power, enabling you to include crunchy, crispy, and chewy foods in your diet. With a greater variety of foods, you’ll get more nutritional value from your meals. You won’t have to forgo any of your favorite foods.

• A Strong, Attractive Smile  

Implant restorations look, function, and feel like natural teeth and will give you a strong, pleasing smile. Your new teeth won’t come loose like dentures can because artificial tooth roots secure them. We can replace one tooth, multiple, or all of your teeth with implants if needed. Implants will fit in beautifully with your lifestyle so you can enjoy a high quality of life. 

• Improved Oral Health

Implants prevent bone loss and keep your teeth from shifting by filling the empty spaces in your mouth. They help preserve your bite to prevent undue wear and tear on your teeth. They also make brushing and flossing your teeth easier, which helps reduce the risk of cavities. 

• Easy Maintenance & Care

Implants are low-maintenance, as they only require brushing, flossing, and routine cleaning to stay healthy and strong, just like natural teeth.
