The Benefits of Dental Implants

Cosmetic & Health and Benefits of Dental Implants

You may be wondering why more and more dentists are advocating dental implants over traditional bridgework and dentures. Perhaps you're baulking at the cost and wondering "What exactly will a dental implant do for me?"

Dental implants have several benefits you might not be aware of:

 

Dental Implants Improve your Confidence

With ordinary dentures your jawbone shrinks and the denture slips out of place, sliding and wobbling in the mouth and causing great discomfort and pain. Your facial muscles struggle to hold the dentures in place, resulting in muscle stress, more pain, and slurred or mumbled speech. The shrinking jawbone muscles give you a lopsided smile and aged face.

Because dental implants are anchored in the jaw itself, they don't move. Goodbye forever, gum irritation and muscle stress! You can smile, talk and sing naturally. Dental implants feel like your natural teeth.

Dental Implants Restore your Taste

 

With a dental implant you can chew and swallow foods without pain or discomfort. In contrast, a full upper denture covers your palette and reduces your sense of taste. Replacing your upper denture with dental implants allows you to once again taste and enjoy your favorite foods.To learn more about replacing your missing teeth with dental implants, contact
