There’s no denying that dental implants cost more than other tooth replacement options upfront—but there’s a reason they’re considered the gold standard. At 918 Dentist, we believe your smile is worth investing in. If you’re still on the fence, here are the top five reasons dental implants are 100% worth it.

1. They’re Built to Last
Crowns, bridges, and dentures may need to be replaced every 5–10 years. Dental implants? With proper care, they can last 25+ years—often a lifetime. That means fewer replacements and fewer office visits in the long run.
2. They Look and Feel Like Real Teeth
Say goodbye to the “fake tooth” look. Dental implants are custom-designed to match your natural teeth and sit securely in your jaw. No shifting. No clicking. Just confident chewing, smiling, and speaking.
3. They Protect Your Jawbone
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it starts to shrink. Implants stimulate the bone just like real tooth roots, keeping your jaw strong and helping preserve your facial structure. That means fewer sunken cheeks and a more youthful appearance.
4. They Boost Your Confidence
Whether it’s for a date in Tulsa or a family reunion in Glenpool, having a full, healthy smile can do wonders for your self-esteem. Implants eliminate the fear of dentures falling out or visible gaps showing when you laugh or speak.
5. They’re Easier to Maintain Than You Think
No special cleaning routines, adhesives, or overnight soaking required. Just brush, floss, and see your dentist regularly. It’s that simple.
