Dental implants are one of the most celebrated methods of replacing teeth, often having to do with the incredible functionality that they can afford you. The connection to the jaw provides you with stunning stability, a powerful bite, and durability that’s hard to match with any other methods of tooth replacement.
However, there are more than practical reasons to prefer dental implants—there are also some incredible aesthetic benefits of getting dental implants. If you’re curious, here are a few examples.
Incredible Realism
One of the things that sets dental implants apart from other methods of tooth replacement is their connection to the jaw. This affords this restoration additional stability, but also means that this false tooth is connected to the jaw in a very similar way to your natural teeth.
This, in addition to the high-quality materials used for the false tooth, gives dental implants unparalleled realism. As a result, the tooth will be almost impossible for others to detect once it’s settled into your mouth.
Stronger Jaw
One of the problems that people often run into when they lose teeth is the degradation of the jaw. The body is incredibly good at allocating resources, and when it notices that an area of the jaw isn’t being used to hold a tooth in place, it stops sending nutrients to that area of the mouth.
This will cause bone reabsorption, which will make your jawbone shrink as a consequence. This can cause your face to look thinner and older, as well as causing your teeth to become misaligned.
Dentures and dental bridges do nothing to stop bone reabsorption, but dental implants stimulate the jaw and mitigate this process. This is an excellent boon for your oral health, as well as for how you look.
Easier Maintenance
If your oral hygiene begins to slip, swollen gums and bad breath can be serious detriments to the way that you come off to others. Dental implants tend to be much easier to clean than other methods of tooth replacement, which means that it’s much simpler to keep these issues at bay.
Dental implants are one of the most effective methods of tooth replacement—whether you’re impressed by their functionality or their aesthetics, they could be perfect for you!
