The reason why dental implants are considered an investment is not only due to the cost of the dental implant but also due to the longevity of the dental implant. Normally, we see on average a dental implant lasting up to 25 years or longer, if the patient takes proper care of the dental implant, and the surrounding teeth. Dental implants are an upfront investment for significant dental issues. If your tooth is in a severe form of tooth decay, has a severe fracture, or is missing completely, a dental implant may be the best-suited option for your case.   The best thing you can do after receiving a dental implant is to take care of it as well as the rest of the teeth from then on. This is to make sure your teeth stay healthy, strong, and durable for the rest of your life.   Visit Canatella Dental today and talk to our experienced specialist Dr. Todd Canatella.
