If you’ve been waiting for the right time to replace your missing teeth with dental implants, this is it! There’s no better opportunity than this summer to start your journey to a complete smile. You can use your paid time off for your placement surgery and recovery. Here’s why you shouldn’t wait to invest in dental implants.
Boost Your Confidence
If you’re embarrassed by missing teeth being the focal point of your smile, replacing them with dental implants will boost your self-esteem. A dental implant is unlike any other treatment because it replaces the entire tooth structure. This provides a solution that looks and feels natural. You can smile confidently because only a trained dental professional will know they aren’t real teeth.
Improve Your Health
Tooth loss affects more than just your self-esteem. Every tooth is important for a healthy, functional smile. Tooth loss can make certain foods too difficult to eat, which can cause you to eliminate them from your diet. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies that can harm your health. Dental implants restore 70% of your biting force, so you can eat a variety of nutritious foods for a healthy mouth and body.
Improve Your Oral Health
Tooth loss increases your risk of cavities, gum disease, and additional missing teeth. A dental implant keeps your jaw strong and healthy to provide your remaining teeth with sufficient support. This will prevent them from drifting from their positions to keep your mouth healthy. You’ll also avoid costly dental work down the road.
Look Years Younger
Tooth loss causes your jawbone to shrink slowly, which changes the shape of your face. Researchers have found that replacing lost teeth can take 10 years off your appearance. Dental implants are the only method to stop bone loss for a youthful look. You’ll avoid wrinkles, sagging skin, and a sunken appearance by keeping your jaw healthy.
Enjoy Long-Lasting Results
You’ll never have to worry about your missing teeth again. Dental implants have over a 95% success rate and are proven to last for decades with the right care, like brushing and flossing. You’ll never have to budget for replacements.
Don’t spend another summer hiding your smile. Take a break from laying out by the pool to schedule your consultation for dental implants.
