NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 23, 2025 / Dental implants are one of the most common ways to replace a tooth after an extraction. As implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, they are a very popular choice. In the U.S., over three million implants are placed each year.¹ Read on to learn about the wide range of benefits of getting dental implants after a tooth extraction, both for your oral health and overall quality of life.

Prevents bone loss

Using your jaw to chew and bite signals your body to keep your jawbone strong.² After an extraction, as the area around your tooth receives less pressure, the body quickly begins to reabsorb this bone.³ As implants allow you to keep your jawbone active, they can significantly reduce bone loss.

Keeps teeth aligned

When a tooth is missing, the teeth next to it may shift into the empty space.⁴ Dental implants help to fill that gap which prevents other teeth from moving and helps to keep your bite aligned.

Prevents receding gums

Leaving a gap after an extraction can cause the gums near the area to recede. Not only can this cause neighboring teeth to appear longer, but it can also cause pain.⁵

Maintains facial appearance

Without dental implants, another downside of bone loss from a tooth extraction is that it can affect your appearance. You may notice changes in wrinkles around your mouth or a slight hollowing of your cheeks.⁶

Easier to chew

One of the biggest quality of life improvements implants provide is that you can properly chew again. When you are missing a tooth, the amount of bite force you have is reduced, but this can be improved with dental implants.⁷ This means you will be able to return to the foods you love.

Improves speech

The loss of a tooth or multiple teeth can affect the way you speak. Using implants will allow you to return to speaking normally.

Increased comfort

With dentures, there can be rubbing or slipping inside the mouth. However, because implants are anchored directly into your jawbone, they feel stable and more natural.

Low maintenance

Dental implants are a common choice when compared to alternatives like dentures because they are permanently secured in your mouth. They don't need to be removed and cleaned.

Long-lasting

With good oral hygiene, such as regularly brushing and flossing your teeth and seeing the dentist for your normal check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Renewed confidence

As dental implants look like the rest of your teeth, you'll be able to socialize without worrying how they look while you're smiling, talking, or laughing.

Implants offer many benefits after a tooth extraction

Dental implants are a long-term solution to help restore the function and appearance of your smile after a tooth extraction. They help keep your jawbone healthy, prevent shifting teeth, and provide the confidence that comes with a natural look and feel. Speak with your dentist to learn more about the process, what dental implants cost, and how implants can help you maintain a strong, lasting smile.
