Missing teeth can cause a lot of problems, including difficulty chewing and speaking. Dental implants are a great way to replace a missing tooth or teeth and restore your smile. Dental implants are very popular because they offer a lot of unique benefits.
Chewing
Dental implants will allow you to bite with almost the same force as your natural teeth. This means you can enjoy your favourite foods without fear of discomfort. Dental implants are anchored to your jawbone as your natural teeth are, providing a stable foundation for teeth overtop.
Facial Structure
Dental implants are a great way to prevent the sunken-in look that often comes with tooth loss. Tooth loss can change your facial structure over time and give you the appearance of premature aging. This happens because your teeth affect the shape of your face. You can maintain a more youthful appearance by getting dental implants because they support your bone structure. Dental implants not only look natural, but they also feel natural.
Durability
With proper hygiene and maintenance care, a dental implant restoration can last patients a lifetime. Once your implants are placed, you’ll get many years of worry-free dental health. Unless you experience trauma to your jaw, you should not need any further care. If you do experience trauma, Yaletown Dentistry will always be there to get your smile restored.
Bone Loss Prevention
Dental implants are the only dental restoration that replaces both the tooth and the tooth root, allowing for jawbone stimulation and preventing bone loss. This is why Yaletown Dentistry recommends them to patients who have lost teeth.
Convenience
Dental implants are a more convenient option than other tooth replacements, such as dentures. With dentures, you must remove them for sleep, clean them, and after eating, cleanse food that gets underneath the denture. Dental implants are permanent, so you don’t have to worry about taking them out to clean them. In addition, dental implants look and feel much more like natural teeth than dentures do, to keep your confidence revving.
Reduced Cavity Risk
Dental implants are a great option for people who are looking for a permanent replacement for missing teeth. One of the best things about dental implants is that they cannot decay like teeth can, which means you will never have to worry about the pain of cavities. This is a huge advantage.
Speaking Naturally
Dental implants from Yaletown Dentistry feel very much like natural teeth, and they are so secure that they allow you to speak naturally without any challenges. This is why they are the perfect solution for people who are missing teeth or have other dental restorations like dentures, that can cause you to slur your speech.
Appearance
Dental implants and their restorations come in a variety of shapes and sizes, customized to you. Because of this, you can get dental implants that perfectly match the colour of your natural teeth and give you a beautiful-looking smile. In fact, the appearance of your smile will be so real that only you and your dentist will know that you have implants.
