Health Benefits of Dental Implants

At one time dental implants were simply too expensive for many potential patients who could have benefited from them. Now, patients increasingly visit denturists to inquire about dental implants. We believe that the basic benefit for patients is increased stability in a patient’s mouth. This results in a better quality of life for the patient. “It gives the patient the opportunity to eat food that they may not have eaten for fifteen or twenty years. Now they can eat, say, an apple or other hard food. They can enjoy a nice steak when they go out for dinner. Our patients tell me that when they go to a restaurant they know already what they will eat before they get there because they can’t eat certain foods. They have to have soup or something light. With dental implants there is stability, there is an anchor point for the denture to settle down to and this creates better function so that the patient can chew and eat what he or she wants to eat. The patient can challenge him or herself again by going out to dinner and ordering new choices. Your quality of life improves and your over-all well-being. What is better than that?”
