6 Reasons Implants are a Superior Choice for Back Teeth
Most people take their teeth for granted until they experience pain, have difficulty biting and chewing, or need one or more teeth removed. Losing a back tooth may not visibly affect your smile, but it can affect how you chew, making it difficult to eat certain foods. At Surrey Place Dental Group in Surrey, BC, our dentists offer dental implants for back teeth to remedy this issue. A molar tooth implant will restore comfortable chewing and make your smile whole again.Â
Implants are a superior choice for back teeth for the following reasons:
1. Lasting Solution to Missing Back Teeth
Implants are strong and enduring as they fuse with your bone system to function as tooth roots for your new back teeth. Once in place, implants can last indefinitely with proper care. Our dentists will top the implant with a dental crown to replace your lost molar or an implant bridge to replace a row of two or three missing back teeth. With good oral care, these restorations can last up to 20 years, making this treatment a lasting solution to missing back teeth.
2. Maximum Chewing PowerÂ
Implant teeth are stable and secure because they’re anchored permanently in place by artificial tooth roots. This gives your back teeth the same chewing power as natural teeth. You can eat the foods you love without worrying about harming your back teeth or having them come loose.
3. Natural FeelÂ
Implant crowns and bridges are custom-made for a comfortable, seamless fit. They fill the gap left by missing teeth perfectly, with no wiggle room to chafe your soft tissues. Your replacement teeth will feel just as natural as real teeth, making eating, smiling, and speaking a breeze.

4. Bone Preservation
Replacing back teeth with implants will help support your jaw as the implants stimulate your jawbone to prevent bone loss. Your molar tooth implants will contribute to a stronger, healthier jaw and facial support, helping you look younger.

5. Support for Remaining TeethÂ
Your teeth support one another to keep your smile straight and even. Losing molars can cause adjacent remaining teeth to drift out of their proper position to fill the empty spaces in your mouth. Implants prevent dental drift, keeping your smile aligned and your bite intact.
6. Lower Cost Over the Long Haul Â
Given the permanence of implants, this treatment can save you money over the long term. Unlike other restorations that need frequent adjustments or upgrades, implants can remain strong and problem-free for decades, with good oral care. Caring for implants is as easy as caring for natural teeth, as they only need diligent brushing, flossing, and regular dental cleanings to stay in tip-top shape. This can save you considerably on dental bills over the long haul.
