9 Reasons to Consider Dental Implants to Replace Missing Teeth or Strengthen Dentures!
1. You will look younger.
Dental implants prevent the bone loss that is common with the loss of teeth. By preventing bone loss, your facial structures remain normal and intact, which reduces wrinkling and the look of old age.
2. Your quality of life will improve.
Dental implants look, feel, and function more like natural teeth, which allow you to smile, laugh, and eat with confidence.
3. You will improve your nutrition.
Fresh vegetables, corn, and fruit are back on the menu! Dental implants are stronger than dentures so you can eat the foods you like. And since your chewing will improve, your digestion will improve as well.
4. You will gain confidence in social situations.
Our patients love their implants because of their improved appearance, function, and comfort. You will never again have to cover your mouth with your hand or delay eating out of fear that your denture will pop out or gag you. The improved appearance of your new smile will have people giving you compliments galore.
5. You will eliminate denture adhesives FOREVER!
Implant supported teeth are securely attached so there is no need for messy dentures adhesives. You will never again worry about your dentures flying out when you laugh, sneeze, or eat.
6. Your mouth will be restored to its natural state.
By replacing the entire tooth, as well as the tooth root, it is possible to replicate the function of natural teeth, with a strong, stable foundation that allows comfortable biting and chewing.
7. You will enjoy eating again.
Wearing an upper denture can prevent you from really tasting food, because the roof of the mouth is covered. With implant supported teeth, it is not necessary to cover the roof of the mouth, so you can truly enjoy the taste of foods.
8. You will improve your overall oral health.
Dental implants improve your overall oral health and decrease your risk of oral cancer and heart disease. Plus, because it is easier to care for implants than dentures, they decrease your chance of bacteria build up and gum disease.
9. Your will protect your other teeth.
Replacing teeth with implant supported crowns and bridges does not involve the adjacent natural teeth, and thus will not damage them. On the other hand, partial dentures clamp onto adjacent teeth, which can loosen them, and bridges require grinding down of the adjacent teeth so that the bridge can be cemented on them. This tooth structure can never be replaced and the long-term health of these teeth is compromised.
