Two Benefits of Dental Implants


As a periodontist, Dr. Dasha Resnansky focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and treating periodontal disease. Recognized for her work placing dental implants while completing her certificate in periodontics, Dr. Dasha Resnansky also places dental implants for her patients.

Dental implants provide a number of benefits to patients, both cosmetic and health-related. Here are two specific ways that investing in a dental implant can improve both a person’s physical appearance and overall health.

Osteoporosis, a disease that erodes bone material, often first presents itself in the jaw. The greater number of healthy teeth one has, the stronger one’s jaw bones will be. Implants can help replace lost teeth to improve chewing, which studies show can halt or even reverse osteoporosis in the jaw. 

As a person loses teeth, the bones around the mouth lose density, which results in the surrounding tissue where the teeth previously were wrinkling and loosening. By investing in implants, a person can reverse this process and not only prevent future health issues but also create a more pleasant facial structure and improve his or her self-confidence.
