Why You Should Consider Dental Implants
Do you find yourself choosing foods based on the fact that you wear dentures?
It may time to consider dental implants. With dental implants, your new teeth will be significantly more sturdy and stable giving you more freedom to choose the foods you want.
In this article, we’ll answer a few common questions regarding dental implants to help you decide if they’re the right solution for your needs.
What Are Dental Implants?
A regular denture sits on top of the gums and is more prone to slipping or falling out. Your natural teeth are anchored into your jaw, which allows them to bite down with significantly more force and pressure than dentures.
With denture implants, your dental appliances will sit securely in your mouth. By installing a few small anchor points for your dentures to hold on to, you can reclaim much of the previous functionality of your teeth and gums.
What Are The Benefits Of Dental Implants Over Dentures?
1. Natural Looking and Comfortably Fitting
When compared to regular dentures, dental implants tend to look more natural. They fit securely into your mouth which means you’ll have to worry less about shifting while eating or smiling.
For these same reasons, your dental implants will be more comfortable than standard dentures. With dental implants, your dentures will sit securely in place which means less friction and soreness.
2. Longer Lasting
With proper care, your dental implants should last longer than traditional dentures. This is largely because your dentures are secure and undergo less stress over time than standard dental appliances.
As an added benefit, dental implants tend to be less expensive in the long run due to the lowered cost of maintenance.
3. Eat More Of Your Favorite Foods
One of the most common concerns we hear about dentures is the ability to eat your favorite foods.
It’s true, dentures mean that you may not be able to eat some of the things to you used to. With dental implants, your teeth are significantly more secure than regular dentures.
This means that you’ll be giving up less of your favorite foods and won’t have to choose soups or salads for every meal.
Have you ever made a decision on what to eat at a restaurant based on your dentures? Worry less with dental implants.
4. Feel More Confident
With dental implants, you can be sure that your dentures are going to stay in place.
They allow you to get back into your routine, laughing and eating with friends and family without the embarrassment of your teeth falling out.
