Dental Implants in Wilmington, DE | Drs. Justison and Gladnick

At our Pike Creek, DE dental office, we believe dental implants are one of the most important investments you can make in your smile.

Sometimes, our dental patients are unsure about whether or not to proceed with getting dental implants. Because dental implants are a permanent, high-quality product, they are more expensive than other potential solutions. Although dental implants will cost more up-front than alternative treatments, they are a wise investment in your oral health. If you are struggling with tooth loss and have unwanted gaps in your smile, dental implants are likely the best treatment option for you.

Benefits of Implants

Dental implants have many benefits. When you choose to receive dental implants at our Wilmington, DE dental practice, you are choosing to protect your smile for years to come. Most importantly, dental implants are built to last and to endure significant of wear-and-tear.

Dental implants help restore chewing function to your bite, which allows you to eat freely and enjoy the foods you love again. Implants also help support the neighboring teeth in your mouth and provide much-needed structure for your jawbone.

Additionally, dental implants help you maintain strong oral hygiene habits. Missing teeth leave gaps and spaces in your smile, and these gaps can quickly become traps for food and bacteria within the mouth. Implants fill these gaps and reduce the chance of food debris building up over time. After you have had a dental implant placed, you can floss and brush around the area as normal to help promote good oral health.
