Discovering you can receive dental implants can change your mind about replacing your missing teeth. If at first you assumed bridges or dentures were your only option, finding out that you can replace not only the crown of your tooth but your roots, too, is a very wonderful moment as you research ways to make your smile whole again. Along the way, we encourage you to spend time considering the many additional benefits you can expect. It will help guide you as you make final choices.
#1: They Last A Long Time (And Care Is Simple)
If you’re thinking about the way choosing dental implants will impact your daily life and your life in the long run, you will be happy to learn that it’s all good news. On a day-to-day basis, implants are exceptionally easy to care for. You’ll continue flossing and brushing like you always have, no major changes required to maintain a healthy and complete smile. Fortunately, in the long run, this can result in implants that last for a lifetime.
#2: They Can Support Any Prosthetic
You’re not limited to what you can support with dental implants. You may, of course, rely on single crown implants (restored with a dental crown per post) to replace one tooth at a time. However, you can also go ahead and rely on implants to replace more than one tooth at once. With a smaller number of implants than missing teeth, the posts may support a bridge or denture.
#3: Your Quality Of Life Returns
No more wondering if people can tell you’re wearing a tooth replacement, no more hoping your denture doesn’t slip while you eat or talk, no more wishing you could go back to your natural smile. Implants are extremely similar to your natural teeth, so your quality of life will quickly return.
