Your smile should be a permanent part of who you are. It should last a lifetime. Unfortunately, diet, accidents, and genetics lead many to having missing teeth. Replacing missing teeth is an important way of maintaining your overall health. It also improves the health of the teeth you have remaining in your mouth.
Many people are surprised to learn that when they are missing teeth, they set themselves up for a number of other health issues. For example, missing teeth can lead to a deteriorating jawbone. This will affect your appearance. Missing teeth can affect your self-esteem. Smiling with missing teeth, especially missing front teeth, is embarrassing. Dental implants not only help you look better, but dental implants can make you have a better quality of life.
When most people think about dental implants, they think about the way they improves their appearance by restoring their teeth. And that is very true. When a person looks at you and youre missing a tooth, they immediately react. This is because missing a tooth looks unnatural. A missing tooth immediately makes a person look less educated and of questionable character.
When youre missing a tooth, your body realizes that the jawbone is no longer necessary to support the tooth. So the bone starts to deteriorate. Your entire facial structure starts to cave-in. With time, missing enough teeth can cause your lips and lower face to shrivel up.
There are a number of respected journals, such as the Journal of Implant & Advanced Clinical Dentistry, for example, that discuss not only the benefits of having dental implants but also the advances that have been made in the production of dental implants and the technology behind their implantation.
When you have a full set of teeth, your eating habits improve. You do not need to worry about messy adhesives to keep dentures in. The ugly metal clasps that are part of partial dentures are gone. And you never need to worry about removing dentures or bridges again. These are just a few of the positive things that come from getting dental implants.
