It’s the season of thankfulness as you show gratitude for all the good things in your life. Besides your health and wellness, you have another reason to be grateful this year. You have invested in a dental implant! Here are just a few reasons to give your new smile a little appreciation.
Dental Implants Look Natural
A dental implant is the only treatment to mimic both the root and the crown. A titanium post is hidden below your gum tissue to support your customized restoration that blends in with your real teeth.
It looks like a real tooth, so you won’t think twice about showing off your teeth when smiling. Only a trained dental professional can tell it isn’t natural.
Never Worry About Slipping
With your jawbone fused to your dental implant through a process called osseointegration, you’ll never need to worry about slipping or irritation.
You regain 70% of your biting force, so you can enjoy a variety of foods. Your new tooth will feel natural to savor your favorite holiday meals.
Long-Lasting Results
Dental implants have over a 95% success rate and can thrive for 30 years or more. Your new smile can last for decades with the right care, like brushing and flossing.
You’ll never need to budget for replacements for added peace of mind.
Preserve Your Jawbone
Missing a single tooth can cause you to lose 25% of your jaw’s density in the first year, which continues to shrink as more time passes. You don’t have to be concerned about bone loss because your dental implant will keep your jaw healthy.
The implant post stimulates your bone to encourage new growth. This improves your oral health and overall wellness.
Look Years Younger
Tooth loss is attributed to being elderly. Researchers have found that replacing a lost tooth can take 10 years off your appearance. Your dental implant turned back the clock to restore a youthful, vibrant smile.
Save Money Down the Road
Investing in a dental implant gives you more money in your pocket because you won’t have to pay for a replacement every few years, like with other methods. You’ll also avoid common issues caused by tooth loss, so you’re less likely to need costly dental work later.
The benefits of dental implants are priceless. You can be thankful for your complete smile year after year because you chose the most successful solution for tooth replacement.
