Scottsdale Dentists Highlight Several Chief Benefits of Dental Implants

SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Jul 1, 2015) - At Scottsdale Smile Center, Dr. Don Chiappetti and Dr. Jonathan Coombs provide an expansive array of general, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry treatments to comprehensively address the needs and concerns of every patient seeking dental care at their practice. For individuals interested in replacing any number of missing and/or severely damaged teeth, the two dentists offer several effective solutions, though the most advantageous option is often dental implants.

For qualified candidates, Dr. Coombs states that dental implants are one of the most successful, aesthetic, and functional restorative dentistry treatments available today. Key benefits of dental implants can include:

• A stronger, more durable alternative to bridges and dentures
• Restoration of both form and function to teeth
• Improvement in one's ability to speak and chew
• Improvement in the overall appearance of one's smile
• Permanent, natural-looking outcomes

In addition, dental implants can also be used to support dental bridges for the replacement of multiple teeth as well as to increase stability and decrease gum irritation for denture wearers.

Thanks to revolutionary Cone Beam X-Ray technology and computer guided surgery, Dr. Chiappetti notes that dental implant surgery can now be performed more successfully than ever. Though there is no guarantee implants will properly fuse to the patient's jawbone, he says studies show a success rate of 95% for lower jaw implants and 90% for upper jaw implants five years after their implantation.

Ultimately, regardless of the many benefits of dental implants, Drs. Coombs and Chiappetti stress the importance of consulting a qualified dentist who has extensive experience in performing the procedure. "When placed incorrectly, there is a possibility for implants to fail," says Dr. Chiappetti. "For this reason, it is imperative that you seek the expertise of a highly skilled and experienced dentist who can properly determine candidacy as well as perform treatment with the utmost safety and efficacy."
