Read on to learn more about how your new dental implants will feel.&nbsp;<\/p><!--more--><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Dental Implants Compare to Natural Teeth?<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After tooth loss, the disappointing fact is that you will never be able to get your natural teeth back. However, the silver lining is that dental implants give you the closest alternative. Including both the roots and crowns of teeth, implants are known for replicating the look and feel of your natural teeth in countless ways, including the:<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stability &amp; Function<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just like your natural teeth (and unlike traditional dentures), your implant-retained teeth will remain firmly in place and never shift or slip whenever you eat or speak.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strength<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studies have shown that dental implants can restore up to 80 percent of your natural bite force. As a result, you&rsquo;ll be able to eat a greater variety of foods than you would with traditional dentures.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appearance<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Implant-retained restorations don&rsquo;t require the alteration of any surrounding, healthy teeth, and the restorations are custom-designed to look indistinguishable from your natural smile.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Science Behind the Implant Process<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what makes the dental implant process so different from other tooth replacement services like traditional dentures and bridges? It&rsquo;s the dental implants themselves. These are small, titanium posts that are designed to replace the root structure of your missing teeth. Their biocompatible nature allows them to naturally fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration, just like the roots of your natural teeth.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of their ability to integrate with your jawbone, dental implants provide crucial blood flow to the bone structure to keep it from eroding over time, as well as a stable foundation for the visible portion of your teeth. With the ability to replicate all structures of your natural teeth, dental implants feel and function as lifelike as they look.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Rhenu Sharma and Dr. John Ludu have decades of combined experience. They partner with local implant specialists to provide comprehensive, quality dental implant treatment to their patients.
