Tooth loss is often associated with being elderly, but missing teeth can occur at any age. If you’ve lost a tooth, it’s normal to have insecurities about a gap in your smile. 500,000 Americans every year choose dental implants to replace lost teeth because they are the most successful method of treating tooth loss. You shouldn’t feel embarrassed about getting dental implants. As the next best thing to a natural tooth, here are just a few reasons you should be excited about getting dental implants.
Dental Implants Look Natural
You won’t have to worry about anyone knowing you’ve replaced a tooth with a dental implant because they look natural. A titanium implant post is surgically placed into your jaw to serve as a new tooth root. It will be hidden below your gums while supporting a customized ceramic restoration. Your new tooth will be carefully crafted to match the appearance of your natural teeth to blend in. You won’t think twice before showing off your beautiful smile.
Dental Implants Feel Natural
Your jawbone will fuse to your implant through a process called osseointegration. This provides unmatched support and stability for your new tooth. You can regain up to 70% of your biting force, allowing you to eat your favorite foods. You’ll never have to worry about slipping or irritation. Your dental implant will feel just like a real tooth.
Take Years Off Your Appearance
Society attributes missing teeth to being elderly, which means a missing tooth can make you look years older than your real age. Researchers have found that replacing lost teeth can take 10 years off your appearance. You will look younger and feel your best using the most successful solution for tooth loss.
Benefit from Long-Lasting Results
You’ll benefit from lasting results. Dental implants are proven to last for 30 years or more with the right care, like brushing and flossing. With over a 95% success rate, you’ll never have to budget for replacements.
