If you’ve been waiting for the ideal time to replace your missing teeth with dental implants, this is it! Life tends to slow down during the summer, which means you’ll have plenty of time for dentist appointments and recovering from your placement surgery. Here are a few reasons why you don’t want to spend another summer living with tooth loss.
Boost Your Confidence
The appearance of your teeth can affect your self-esteem. You may hide your mouth when smiling, eating, or chatting with a friend. Filling the gaps in your smile will boost your self-esteem. Dental implants look and feel natural, so you’ll never think twice before showing off your pearly whites.
Improve Your Dental Health
Each tooth is essential for a healthy, functional smile. Losing even one can increase your risk of various dental issues, like gum disease and additional tooth loss. Your jawbone can shrink by up to 25% within the first year of losing a tooth. Your jaw will continue to deteriorate as time passes. Traditional dental prosthetics don’t do anything to stop bone loss. A dental implant is the only way to preserve your jawbone to keep your mouth healthy. A titanium post is surgically placed into your jaw to serve as a new tooth root, stimulating bone growth to keep your remaining teeth healthy. You’ll be less likely to need costly dental work later.
Look a Decade Younger
Tooth loss is associated with being elderly. Not to mention, as your jaw shrinks, the shape of your face will change. You can develop wrinkles, sagging skin, and a sunken appearance. Researchers have found that replacing lost teeth can take 10 years off a person’s appearance. You can look younger with dental implants.
Plenty of Time to Recover
The process of replacing a lost tooth with a dental implant occurs in several steps, which can take many months. After you have recovered from any preliminary procedures, you’ll be scheduled for your placement surgery. You’ll need to take it easy for a few days. If you’ve been saving up your vacation time, you don’t have to worry about missing work. You can use your paid time off to relax while you recover without the anxiety of needing to get back to the office.
Enjoy Long-Lasting Results
You will never have to worry about replacing your dental implants. You’ll be investing in a tooth placement method with over a 95% success rate. Dental implants can last for decades with the right care, like brushing and flossing.
You can make this summer memorable by taking your first step toward a complete smile. Your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan to replace your lost teeth using the most successful solution in dentistry.
