Dental Implants

Advantages of dental implants

This is according to https://www.webmd.com

• Improved appearance - Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.
• Improved speech - With poor-fitting dentures, the teeth can slip within the mouth causing you to mumble or slur your words. Dental implants allow you to speak without the worry that teeth might slip.
• Improved comfort - Because they become part of you, implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.
• Easier eating - Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental implants function like your own teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
• Improved self-esteem - Dental implants can give you back your smile and help you feel better about yourself.
• Improved oral health - Dental implants don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving long-term oral health. Individual implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
• Durability - Implants are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many implants last a lifetime.
• Convenience - Removable dentures are just that; removable. Dental implants eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep them in place.
