5 Ways Dental Implants Restore Your Smile and Self-Confidence!

Many people expect the physical issues that come with tooth loss, such as not being able to eat the same way they did before. But psychological issues such as less self-confidence can come as a real surprise. It’s very common to feel embarrassed about tooth loss, and many people even hide it from their friends and family. Fortunately, you have more choices today than ever before for replacing your teeth, including an option that looks and feels incredibly natural: dental implants. Below, you’ll learn about the 5 ways implants restore your smile and self-image to help you feel like your best self again!

1. You Can Speak, Smile and Laugh Without Feeling Self-Conscious

Traditional dentures always become somewhat loose over time. Although they can be adjusted to improve the fit, they still begin to “slip” during conversations. This can be really embarrassing because it immediately gives away the fact that you’ve lost teeth.

Even if you don’t wear dentures because you’ve only lost a few teeth, visible empty spaces can make you avoid smiling or cover your mouth when you laugh.

With implants, you won’t experience either of these issues.

2. You’ll Significantly Improve Your Oral Health  

When it comes to improving your oral health, you want solutions that don’t only look great, but also feel natural. Implants fit the bill and are easily the next best thing to your own teeth.

In fact, they feel so natural that you might even forget you ever lost teeth to begin with!

3. You Won’t Have To Worry During Meals

Friends and family often socialize over meals and celebrate life’s big events with food. But, if you’ve lost your teeth, you may not feel as comfortable as you’d like when you’re eating with other people.

When you can’t comfortably chew your food, enjoying steak at a cookout or going on a dinner date are just a couple of examples of difficult situations. However, implants will give you superior chewing power and stability so you can reliably eat your favorite foods without any worry.

Also, if you currently wear a denture, rest assured that switching to an implant-retained denture will make a big difference.  

4. You’ll Look and Feel Younger

One surprising consequence of tooth loss is losing bone mass in the jaws. When the teeth are gone, the jaw shrinks over time and leads to an aged, sunken-in appearance to the face.

Dental implants are the only option that prevents this from happening and allow you to maintain a youthful facial structure.

5. Your Results Will Last

Dentures need to be replaced about every 5-8 years, while bridges last an average of 10 years. But, with proper care and maintenance, implants can last a lifetime.

With this modern dental procedure, you’ll not only get your healthy smile back – you’ll enjoy all the benefits that go with it!
