Many patients enjoy the idea of having a permanent tooth replacement option, and dental implants can do even more than fill in the gaps in your smile.
Did you know that dental implants also have many health benefits? Aside from giving you a full, beautiful smile, dental implants can improve your health. Let’s take a look at a few ways that implants can benefit you.
Dental Implants Can Improve Bone Health
The health of your bone structure and density is important. A healthy jawbone can:
- Keep your face looking younger.
- Keep your bite alignment intact.
- Prevent you from losing more teeth.
The question is, how can dental implants improve your jawbone density?
Fusion of the Jawbone — Osseointegration
The most important part of a dental implant is the titanium-alloy post that is placed in the jaw. This post acts like your natural tooth root. Over time, this new “root” stimulates bone regrowth and the jaw fuses to the post.
Bone Preservation for Facial Structure
An additional benefit to improving your bone density is that it will help keep your bone structure intact. When you are missing proper bone structure, your facial muscles and skin may sag and make you look older. Keep your muscles and bones healthy by providing them with the right bone support.
Improved Mental and Emotional Health
A dental implant can give you a full, beautiful smile again. In addition, studies have shown that people with dental implants often experience increased confidence and improved mental health. A full smile can boost your confidence and make you feel more positive about life.
Feel Better About Yourself With Dental Implants
You deserve a smile that allows you to communicate with the people around you. In our society, we use our smiles a lot, and that means people often notice your smile. A dental implant can help by:
- Reducing stress. When you don’t have to worry about how your smile looks, you can enjoy social situations without added stress.
- Boosting confidence. A dental implant can fill in your smile so you can look and feel amazing.
- Improving oral health. You won’t have to worry about food getting trapped in the gap between your teeth, and you can look and feel younger with healthier bone density.
You have enough stress in your life. Check off one less worry when you receive a dental implant!
