Modern dentistry empowers patients to take control of their oral health. From advanced preventative care and cosmetic treatments like veneers and teeth whitening to restorative solutions like crowns and bridges, you never have to settle for a smile you’re not happy with.
But among the many advanced treatments available today, few can transform a person’s quality of life quite like dental implants. If you’re struggling with missing or compromised teeth, you know how much they can impact your daily life. With a single procedure, our dental implant specialists at Smart Arches can transform your oral health, functioning, and appearance so you can get back to living life to the fullest!
Here are just a few ways dental implants can improve your life.
1. Better oral health
Restorative dental implants can holistically improve your oral well-being by setting the stage for a strong and healthy mouth.
Missing or broken teeth can contribute to an array of oral health concerns. For example, exposed gum pockets without protective bone can trap harmful bacteria, leading to tooth decay and infection. Dental implants can help protect vulnerable soft tissues in the mouth and maintain your natural oral microbiome.
Dental implants also simplify oral hygiene. When a tooth is missing, nearby teeth will often shift to fill the empty space. This can result in a crooked smile, impacting bite function and making brushing and flossing more difficult. Filling in gaps in your smile with dental implants will help ensure your teeth stay in the optimal position so you can effectively clean your teeth at home.
2. Increased confidence
Everyone deserves to smile and laugh without feeling insecure. Unfortunately, missing teeth can impact self-image, leading to poor mental health and even causing some people to avoid socializing altogether.
Dental implants can boost your confidence by giving you a bright and attractive smile that you’ll want to show off. Implants are custom-made and look just like natural teeth.
No matter the extent of your tooth loss, our dental implant specialists can offer you the treatment you need to achieve the smile of your dreams and transform your self-esteem. If you’re generally unhappy with the look of your smile, a dental implant procedure can be included as part of a complete smile makeover.
3. Improved overall body health
Dental implants offer significant oral health benefits. But did you know that they can improve your total body health as well? Our mouths are like a gateway to the rest of our bodies. When bacteria builds up in the mouth, our immune system reacts by attacking pathogens, leading to inflammation that can spread throughout the body.
In fact, poor oral health has been linked to a number of systemic health conditions, including dementia, heart disease, diabetes, and more. Dental implants can restore oral health, keeping our immune systems strong and reducing our risk of developing systemic health problems.
4. More comfortable eating and speaking
Missing or damaged teeth can make eating and speaking difficult – and even painful in some cases. It’s common for people who suffer from missing teeth to avoid eating certain foods because they find them frustrating or uncomfortable to eat. In fact, research suggests that tooth loss is associated with disruptions in dietary intake and nutritional deficiencies.
Dental implants can restore your ability to eat a healthy and nutritious diet and help you speak and smile with confidence!
5. Lower risk of oral health problems
One of the reasons dental implants are so popular is that they offer an immediate result. You’ll walk out of your procedure with a healthier, more beautiful smile. However the benefits of dental implants are far from temporary.
With proper oral care, dental implants can last a lifetime. By providing structural support for your facial anatomy, encouraging proper bite alignment, and protecting your smile from harmful bacteria, your dental implants can lower your long-term risk of a variety of oral health issues.
Dental implants can help protect you from:
- Cavities and tooth decay
- Gum disease
- Infections that may require root canal therapy
- Shifting teeth and bite alignment issues
- Future tooth loss
- Jawbone loss
- Bruxism and jaw disorders like TMJ
