Why Choose Dental Implants?

At Parker & Pennington Dentistry, we are passionate about helping our patients restore and improve their oral health. We know it can be frustrating if you or a loved one is dealing with severe dental issues or missing teeth. We offer several restorative dental treatments to help improve your teeth and smile. One tooth replacement option we provide is dental implants. If you are unfamiliar, a dental implant is used when the entire tooth structure, including the root, needs to be replaced. The process involves implanting a titanium post into the jawbone to replace the tooth root. The procedure is completed when a replacement tooth, such as a dental crown, is fitted.

Reasons to Choose Dental Implants

There are many reasons why we recommend, and patients choose, dental implants. The most common reason is that a dental implant looks natural and functions like a real tooth. Patients who experience tooth loss or dental issues often have difficulty eating certain foods and chewing properly. Dental implants restore the function of the tooth, allowing these individuals to chew their food normally with no restrictions. Another benefit is that caring for dental implants is the same as caring for your natural teeth. You simply need to brush and floss as usual. Checkups for your dental implants can be done during your routine oral hygiene examination and cleaning appointment.

It’s important to note that dental implants are not a quick treatment. The entire process can take several months to ensure proper healing and long-term success.

The best way to learn if you are a candidate for dental implants is to contact our office in Jacksonville Beach, FL to schedule an appointment. We can perform an evaluation and discuss the best course of action to restore your oral health. We look forward to meeting you and working with you in the future!
