Most people have never heard of implant dentistry before, but it is a very common fix to a big problem. Dental implants have been around for many years and are a variation of dentures. With dentures, you have to remove them each night and after meals, use sticky glue and hope they don’t fall out. Implants are a permanent solution to tooth loss and are very advantageous.
Appearance
Talking or eating without teeth can make your mouth appear sunken and will look strange to others. However, once you have healed from the implants, they fuse with the bone, giving you a permanent tooth. This will help with your overall appearance because you won’t be required to remove the teeth.
Comfort
Because the implants fuse with your gum bones, you aren’t going to need to worry about being uncomfortable. Regular dentures can be uncomfortable because they could fall out or shift while eating or talking. This won’t happen with implant dentistry.
Speech
Have you ever spoken to a loved one that had dentures? You can usually tell when they have got their teeth in because they talk better. When their dentures are out, they often slur their words and everything sounds mushy. You don’t want to risk not being heard properly because of dentures.
Self-Esteem
Many people with dentures feel that they cannot smile as much or as well as before. This is, in part, because dentures can fall out, especially if no adhesive is used or it has worn off. You can’t feel your best and feel confident about yourself if you’re constantly worried about your teeth.
Oral Health
Tooth-supported bridges and even partial dentures usually require that healthy surrounding teeth be filed or removed in order to have the procedure. This can cause even more problems with the teeth and mouth. However, implants do not require any other teeth to be removed, so you keep all your healthy teeth and have a full set.
Convenience
Dentures must be removed periodically throughout the day. While some people don’t need adhesive, they must still remove the food from the mouth and take them out at night. This can be time-consuming and embarrassing. However, implants are placed in the mouth and don’t require anything else, other than brushing and flossing. Think of your implants as your regular teeth.
