Revealing a smile that’s missing teeth can be extremely embarrassing. It can lower your self-esteem and confidence, make you avoid social interaction, and even hold you back professionally. But when it comes to restoring your smile with the help of dental implants, there’s no need to be ashamed. Here are four incredible benefits of these durable, lifelike prosthetics that you can definitely be proud of!
You Can Eat What You Like
When you’re missing teeth, it can be difficult to enjoy a diet full of the foods you love, especially those that are crunchy or tough to chew. In fact, even with some prosthetics like dentures you still may not be able to eat everything you used to with a full set of natural teeth. But with dental implants, there are no dietary restrictions. You are free to indulge in anything your heart desires, from the crunchiest carbs to the toughest proteins!
Your Oral Health Could Improve
Although they’re not “real”, your dental implants can provide many benefits your natural teeth once did. Not only do they provide important stimulation that keeps your jawbone healthy and strong and prevents any remaining natural teeth from drifting out of alignment or falling out due to deterioration. Plus, because they fill in gaps in your smile, they can protect your gums from irritation and inflammation.
You’ll Look Younger
When you’re missing teeth, it can cause facial sagging that adds years to your appearance. Getting dental implants can be almost like an instant facelift, propping up your smile and helping to eliminate that sunken, tired look that’s ageing you beyond your years.
You’ll Get a Boost of Confidence
Finally, it’s not uncommon to feel insecure when you’re missing teeth, but with dental implants, there’s no need to be embarrassed. Your new prosthetics both look and feel perfectly natural, so nobody will ever need to know they’re not real. This can help boost your self-esteem and give you the courage to share your smile as well as the confidence to excel both personally and professionally!
Remember, while it’s normal to feel ashamed or embarrassed about missing teeth, with durable, natural looking dental implants you can feel confident sharing your newly restored smile with the world!
