We say dental implants are the tooth replacement solution out there and for many good reasons. They look natural, function like natural teeth, and require only maintenance comparable to natural teeth: brushing, flossing, and seeing your dentist regularly. In comparison to living with no replacement teeth or with an alternative tooth replacement option like dentures, dental implants can significantly improve your quality of life.
The appearance and functionality of your teeth are one of the main changes that take place when you lose your natural teeth. With missing teeth, they won’t function and definitely won’t look the same. You might hide your smile and adjust your diet. On the flip side, if you replace your missing teeth with a dental bridge or dentures, they still don’t look or function exactly like natural teeth. If dentures weren’t fitted correctly, they can slip and slide around in your mouth. They also won’t stay put when biting into an apple or something hard.
Implants aren’t a short-term investment. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last you for Thirty or more years. In some cases, people enjoy their dental implants for the rest of their life. Imagine having a tooth replacement option you never have to worry about after you get it. Just be sure to visit our dentist in Shepperton regularly to make sure your dental implants are still in good health and are performing at their.
Another challenge our patients might experience after losing their teeth and either living with missing teeth or with an alternative treatment like dentures is discomfort. With dentures, when the fit is too incorrect, it can cause painful dentures sores.
Additionally, after wearing dentures all day, your mouth may simply feel sore. Once you get dental implants, it helps take the pressure off your gums. Instead, it places it on the jaw bone. As a result, you will experience little to no discomfort with your new replacement teeth with dental implants.
One of the biggest ways our dental implants in Surrey will improve your quality of life is by preserving your jaw bone. When you lose your natural teeth, the jaw bone begins to resorb. This occurs because it no longer has teeth to hold in place. When you get dental implants, jaw bone resorption won’t occur because the jaw bone has the dental implants to hold in place. As a result, your facial appearance won’t experience premature aging.
Last but not least, dental implants restore the confidence you had prior to losing your natural teeth, which enhances your quality of life. It’s common to feel self-conscious about your smile after losing your natural teeth. It’s not common to see people walking around with missing teeth. After all, teeth are essential for chewing, smiling, and speaking. You might experience confidence loss if you lose your natural teeth. Dental implants might help you regain the same level of confidence you had with natural teeth.
