How Dental Implants can Improve the Quality of Your Life
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are the ideal solution for anyone who has a missing tooth or has multiple missing teeth.
They can also be used to provide a secure anchor for dental bridges or dentures without needing to cause any damage to the surrounding healthy teeth.
Below are the facts how Dental Implants help in improving the quality of your life –
Dental implants restore your mouth’s function
When you lose one or more teeth, it can change the function and efficiency of your bite and ability to chew. It can also affect your speech. One of the worst side effects of tooth loss is bone loss, which occurs when there is no longer a tooth and root to stimulate bone remodeling and maintain its density.
Having a dental implant placed in your jaw bone will stimulate bone growth, which in turn will help maintain your facial structure and restore your chewing efficiency and normal speech.
You no longer have to worry about moving dentures
Many patients come to us because they are unhappy about wearing dentures. Even the highest quality dentures can become loose-fitting over time, usually as a result of the bone loss. This means you may need to change your dentures fairly regularly to avoid problems with fit and comfort.
Dental Implants give denture wearers the confidence to eat, drink, laugh and smile without worrying that their dentures are suddenly going slip or come loose.
Dental Implants reduce the wear and tear of the teeth near the gaps
One of the disadvantages of having a dental bridge is that we have to prepare (grind) the healthy teeth on either side of the gap in order to have a strong enough anchor for the restoration. Because dental implants sit in the space left by a missing tooth, there’s no need to prepare the neighbouring teeth. Also, by filling the gap left by missing teeth, the healthy teeth nearby are subjected to less wear and tear, protecting their health for long.
Dental Implants look natural
If you have a missing tooth or teeth, then you’ll understand how badly an imperfect smile can impact on your confidence. It’s usually very difficult to tell when someone has dental implants as they look natural and can be perfectly matched to your surrounding teeth. Being able to smile with confidence makes a huge difference to someone’s quality of life. The more you smile, the more likely it is that people are going to to smile back at you.
Dental Implants are the most cost-effective, long lasting solution available
Although dental implants may initially sound like the more costly option for restoring a missing tooth or teeth, they are often actually the most cost effective solution to tooth loss. This is because a dental implant has the potential to last a lifetime if you maintain it properly. There’s no need for new bridges, new dentures or ongoing treatment. Once a dental implant is in place, you can relax, smile and get on with enjoying your new found quality of life.
