When you think of dental implants, you probably picture a solution for filling a gap left by a missing tooth. While they are fantastic for that, their benefits for your smile and overall appearance go much deeper. At Harris Dental, Dr. Brian Harris and Dr. Scott Harris use advanced implant technology to do more than just replace teeth—they restore confidence and enhance your natural facial harmony.
Serving patients from across Phoenix and Gilbert, we see firsthand how a single implant can transform a smile’s entire aesthetic. Let’s explore how.
Preserving Your Natural Facial Structure
A missing tooth isn’t just a gap; it triggers a chain reaction. Without a tooth root to stimulate it, the jawbone underneath begins to shrink. This bone loss can lead to a sunken appearance in the cheeks and lips, making you look older than you are.
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that fuses with your jawbone, just like a natural root. This process preserves bone density, supports your facial contours, and maintains the natural shape of your face for years to come.
Maintaining Bite and Preventing Shifting
Your teeth work together as a team. When one is lost, the neighboring teeth can start to drift and tilt into the empty space. This shift can disrupt your bite alignment, cause chewing difficulties, and create an uneven smile.
By placing a dental implant, we secure the space and prevent this unwanted movement. Your bite remains stable, and your surrounding teeth stay in their proper positions, keeping your smile straight and functional.
A Natural Look and Feel Other Options Can’t Match
While bridges and partial dentures can fill a gap, they don’t always offer the same level of aesthetic quality or function as an implant. Bridges require altering healthy adjacent teeth, and partials can sometimes feel bulky or look less natural.
A dental implant, on the other hand, is designed to look, feel, and function just like your own tooth. It emerges from the gum line independently, providing a seamless and sturdy foundation for a beautiful, custom-crafted crown. You can smile, speak, and eat with complete confidence.
Everything Your Smile Needs, All Under One Roof
Finding the right dental implant provider can feel overwhelming, especially in the East Valley heat. At Harris Dental, we simplify the process.
