Goodbye Dentures, Hello Implants
The Modern Upgrade Your Teeth Deserve
Our smiles are undoubtedly our greatest accessory, and when its main components, our pearly whites, are damaged and worn down, it can be a significant blow to your self-esteem. Not only that, but your teeth play a vital role in your health. Those white chompers ensure your food is adequately chewed to aid in proper digestion.
Denture and non removable teeth held in place by dental implants
Over the years, the dental industry has undergone remarkable innovations. And while dentures have been at the forefront of restorative dental procedures for some time, there have been vast advancements since then.
One such improvement is Dental Implants. Maybe you have heard of it; perhaps you haven’t. Either way, dental implants are the solution to pesky dentures. They improve upon the basic design of dentures, lending to more fitted, esthetically pleasing, and oral healing solutions.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are metal teeth roots reinforced with screw like posts that replace missing or damaged teeth with artificial ones that function and look like natural teeth. Dental implants are placed via surgery and are a welcome respite from bridgework or dentures that are ill-fitted. Dental implants are great at aligning jaw structure for persons unable or unwilling to wear dentures, and persons wanting to improve speech due to dental damage.
Advantages of Dental Implants
Dental Implants have a myriad of benefits, namely: Dental Implants with proper care last a long time. They are made from titanium and integrate with the jawbone seamlessly. Dental implants are also biocompatible, meaning they do not emit toxins into the body; hence they won’t be rejected by the body.
The most significant advantage is that the implants act exactly like natural teeth. They chew food excitedly, and in cases where implants were used to improve speech in patients who had damaged teeth, patients regained full speaking abilities.
Implants don’t have the drawbacks of dentures. They won’t slip, they don’t require removal to clean or reglue, and you can enjoy all your favorite foods. Implants also prevent bone loss because it inserts a rigid structure in the gum maintaining jaw structure.
Dentures don’t fill a space, so the jawbone deteriorates due to a lack of stimulation. Continuous bone loss eventually leads to the face wrinkling prematurely. Another consequence of wearing dentures is that they often cover the roof of the mouth, which affects your sense of taste; implants leave your mouth’s roof free to enjoy all the flavors you love.
The Root of the Matter
The real question and hesitancy many face when deciding to get dental implants is the cost. Most people will opt for dentures because they are cheaper. But dentures are just a temporary fix with more cons than pros. They may be more affordable upfront, but they cause more damage in the long run.
When getting dental implants, think of the bigger picture. They may cost more initially, but the lifelong benefits certainly make them more value for money. Furthermore, you can’t put a price on being able to confidently smile, orate eloquently and devour toothsome foods. Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish; opt for the solution that will have you looking and feeling younger.
