The Benefits of Implant-Supported Crowns

Losing teeth is not an uncommon situation and affects many people. Thankfully, dental implants in Marana, AZ, can help out here. And implant-supported crowns provide many benefits that may not be immediately obvious at first. That's why we at Gladden Farms Family Dentistry, including Dr. Carson Wagstaff and Dr. Chet Kener, compiled this list of their benefits. 

Enhances Tooth Integrity

Crowns and bridges fit over one or more damaged teeth to keep them strong and secure. Unfortunately, a missing tooth near an affected one may make crowns impossible to add. Thankfully, an implant can help by providing the anchor for the surrounding crown. In this way, you can produce the kind of protection that helps keep your oral health strong and secure while minimizing decay.

Improves Aesthetic Appearance

Implants and crowns not only support your oral health but improve your appearance as well. Implants look as close to a regular tooth as possible and are very hard to notice without careful inspection. Likewise, crowns match the look and feel of a tooth's enamel to create a very natural effect. So by filling in your gaps with implant-supported crowns, you keep your appearance strong. 

Protects Jaw Health

Did you know that dental implants in Marana, AZ, can help your overall jaw health? It's true! Losing a tooth puts a strain on your jaw, resulting in changing tooth position or even bone loss. Thankfully, implants work as a healthy support system for the jaw, providing an anchor that keeps the bone strong and healthy. The crown helps as well by minimizing any decay that might occur on the implant or other teeth. 

Betters Your Eating Abilities

Missing teeth also make it harder to eat and may put uneven pressure on your jaw. For example, you might end up damaging other teeth by unconsciously chewing more heavily in areas without missing teeth. Thankfully, an implant-supported crown helps by creating a more even and healthy bite. This step helps to make eating smoother and minimizes any problems and risk you might experience. 

Supports Tissue Growth

Losing a tooth does more than impact your jaw health. It also causes a lack of input into the gum around the missing root. This input triggers tissue growth that keeps your mouth healthy. Thankfully, implants help by replacing your tooth's root and sending this important growth signal.
