That said, the truth is precisely the opposite: dental implants can replace front teeth. Your Edison prosthodontist will even explain how they do so. To that end, read on to see why dental implants can replace front teeth (and their other treatment benefits).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implants Can Replace Any Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants can actually replace any human teeth, including the front-most ones. Their design and materials are versatile enough to ensure that much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Front tooth implants don\u2019t even differ that much from others, though they\u2019re a bit rarer. Dentists still place them in your jaw\u2019s empty sockets, ensuring bone tissue grows to keep them secure. Their abutments and crowns will just look more distinct and correspond to the incisors\u2019 appearances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A front tooth implant will also work better than a denture or dental bridge. Unlike those alternatives, it won\u2019t alter your adjacent teeth for placement purposes. It\u2019ll keep nearby natural teeth more stable as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Other Perks of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides their power to replace front teeth, dental implants have other benefits worth noting. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Lifelike Appearance<\/strong> \u2013 Since they\u2019re capped with porcelain, dental implants look almost identical to natural teeth. Their titanium also makes them stable, as the metal is biocompatible and prompts your jaw to fuse with it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simple Maintenance <\/strong>\u2013 You can maintain dental implants as easily as you would any other teeth. Indeed, it\u2019s just a matter of twice-daily brushing, once-daily flossing, and frequent mouth rinses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Easy Eating &amp; Speaking<\/strong> \u2013 Once they fuse with your jaw, dental implants stay rooted and restore much of your bite force. They thus help you speak and eat as you normally would!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enduring Results<\/strong> \u2013 Dental implants last an average of 15-20 years, with well-maintained ones known to work for 30 years or more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should Consider Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you lack front teeth, you may not be a good candidate for dental implants. You\u2019ll want to confirm you qualify for treatment before you commit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, only adults with decent oral health can get dental implants. Those with strong gums and dense jaws are also the most ideal candidates. Implant posts require these traits for stability, and their absence would lead to early failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll ultimately need a dentist to confirm your dental implant candidacy. Once they give the go-ahead, you can get quality replacements for your front teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edisonprosthodontics.com\/\">Edison Prosthodontics<\/a> is based in Edison, NJ.
