The three main reasons to consider dental implants.

Everyone alive in 2016 is fortunate in a great number of ways. The medical and dental advancements of the past century, in particular those of the past twenty years, have increased quality of life for most people alive today. There are all sorts of treatments, cures, vaccines, and medications around today that weren't around twenty years ago, and many of them make it possible for people with certain ailments to live quality lives for years and years. In short, people who wouldn't have made it a few decades ago can live normal lives today. The same can be said in the dental field, although most dental issues aren't a matter of life and death. If you had a very bad cavity a few decades ago, they would have pulled the tooth and move on. However, today they can install dental implants and no one will ever even know that you've had a whole tooth replaced. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but the point remains: The dental industry has evolved greatly, and everyone alive today gets to benefit from it.

If you've been having some trouble with a particular tooth in your mouth and you're thinking it might be time for it to go, here are the three main reasons why you should consider dental implants.

1. Aesthetic. The first reason to consider dental implants is because of how they look. Unless the tooth is way in the back, when you get a tooth pulled you're going to be able to see it. By getting that tooth replaced with a fake tooth, you're able to ensure that your smile looks the same and that people won't notice anything is different. Given how easy it is for a dental implant to get installed, there's simply no reason why you shouldn't do it.

2. Function. Second, When you're missing a tooth the function of your teeth is put in jeopardy. In other words, it won't be as easy to eat your favorite foods if you're missing a tooth. A dental implant takes care of that problem.

3. Ease. At the end of the day, the primary reason to get dental implants is that you can get your tooth replaced and it's relatively easy. You'll likely only be in the dentist's chair for an hour or so and then you'll have your tooth completely replaced. On top of that, most dental insurances will cover your implant so you don't even have to worry about paying for all of it. What's the point of all of this fancy new dental technology if you're not going to take advantage of it?
