When you\u2019re missing one or more teeth, you\u2019ve lost more than your ability to smile confidently. Those gaps also make it increasingly difficult to eat and speak like you\u2019re used to. And trust us, the problems only get worse with time. That is, unless you replace your teeth with a wonderful option like dental implants in Whiting. Keep reading to learn more from the team at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.berquistdentistry.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Berquist Family Dentistry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Berquist Family Dentistry Provides Dental Implants in Whiting<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For our patients who have lost one or more teeth, we know there\u2019s nothing better than dental implants for replacement. That\u2019s because nothing replaces missing teeth quite as well as implants, which replace the tooth\u2019s root, too. Other options, like fixed bridges and non-implant supported dentures, only do half the job. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Benefits of Dental Implants<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because they replace the tooth\u2019s root as well as the visible portion, dental implants provide a complete restoration &#8212; and the advantages of a comprehensive solution are numerous. Some include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Restored ability to eat, speak and smile free from the stress of an ill-fitting device<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased oral health due to osseointegration, which prevents the jawbone from degenerating and changing shape over time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No need to deal with messy denture adhesives. The replacement teeth are either permanently bonded or applied securely onto the top of the dental implants.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When cared for properly, dental implants can be expected to last for the wearer\u2019s lifetime.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you had your teeth replaced with dental implants and enjoyed a benefit that\u2019s not listed here? Tell us about it in the comments below!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candidates for Whiting Dental Implants<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the numerous benefits of replacement teeth supported by dental implants, you\u2019re probably interested in learning whether or not you\u2019re a good candidate for this replacement option. The only way to know for sure is to schedule an appointment with Berquist Family Dentistry. When you do, we\u2019ll check for the following.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adequate existing jawbone. In order for dental implants to be successful, you need enough room for them to be placed to start with. Sometimes too much bone loss has occurred as a result of the missing teeth and other options, like bone grafting, must be explored.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regular oral and overall health. Patients with gum disease and diabetes or HIV are typically not good candidates for dental implants.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interested?
