With excellent home care and regular dental visits, your dental implant can potentially last a lifetime. Implant dentistry boasts a 95% success rate, and because implants are cared for just like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing, there's no complicated maintenance routine to worry about.
It's also worth replacing a missing tooth sooner rather than later. Without a root to support it, your jawbone will begin to deteriorate over time, and neighboring teeth can start to shift. Restoring your tooth with an implant protects both your oral health and the long-term integrity of your smile.
Dr. Bray can determine if implants are right for you with a thorough exam and x-rays. Schedule a consultation or learn more about restoring your smile with dental implants.
