7 Benefits Of Dental Implants
If you’re missing one or more teeth, dental implants can help restore form and function to your mouth. Let’s take a look at their many benefits.
1. You’re More Comfortable
Dentures and partials require a lot of maintenance. They can slip and break, limiting your ability to enjoy certain foods. Dental implants work just like your natural teeth.
2. They’re Natural-Looking
You can smile confidently with dental implants. No one can tell that they’re anything other than natural teeth.
3. They Last a Long Time
Follow your doctor’s instructions for maintenance and your implants last a long time. We can’t say that for many mouth restoration procedures that can crack, chip or break loose over time.
4. They Have a High Success Rate
Any implant can be rejected by the body, but dental implants have a success rate of nearly 96% compared to 70% for tooth-supported prostheses, another common alternative.
5. It’s Easier to Eat
In addition to being able to eat more of the foods you love, it’s easier to eat with implants because they’re firmly anchored in your mouth.
6. It’s Easier to Talk
Missing teeth make speech sound slurred. But you’ll speak more easily and clearly with implants.
7. Decreased Bone Loss
When you lose teeth, your body begins to absorb the calcium in the jaw to use it elsewhere. As this happens, the chin shrinks. Get dental implants sooner rather than later to prevent this bone loss. And even your jaw has begun to cave, dental implants can help restore the appearance of your jaw.
