Many Americans report they’ve lost at least one adult tooth around their 30s and 40s due to everything from gum disease to injuries. For years, dentists have been providing dentures, both full and partial, to relieve their patients from the discomfort of missing teeth. While dentures offer some restorative benefit, modern dental care with use of dental implants provides a strong and permanent replacement for teeth, without the hassle of removable dentures.

If you’re interested in getting stabilized dentures with dental implants, or have a single missing tooth and need a replacement, here’s why we think dental implants are such a great investment:

1.) They look like your own teeth
If you’ve ever lost a tooth, one of the first things you thought about was how it altered your appearance. Dental implants give you back your full smile again because they’re made look just like and act like your natural teeth.

2.) They’re easier to eat with
Eating while wearing dentures can get messy and even cause discomfort. Because removable dentures aren’t permanent, they’re prone to move around while you’re chewing. Dental implants stay put because they’re surgically placed; you’ll be able to enjoy your meals again.

3.) You can speak more clearly
Removable dentures often disrupt your speech. Because dentures can move around in your mouth, they can make it difficult to annunciate clearly, and even make it physically uncomfortable to speak. With permanent dental implants, nothing moves and you’re free to speak confidently.
 
4.) They last longer
Dental implants aren’t a temporary fix to your dental issues; they’re made as a reliable substitute to your own teeth. Unlike dentures, there’s no risk of the wear and tear on gum tissue that is often caused by dental prosthetic rubbing on soft tissue. Dental implants fuse to your jaw bone and will act as your own teeth the rest of your life.

5.) They’re no-hassle and comfortable
Having to remove and reattach dentures is a hassle. You have to reapply adhesives and regularly make sure they have a clean storage place when you’re not using them. No effort goes into maintaining dental implants, besides your basic dental health routines of brushing and flossing.

6.) They support your dental health
Dentures can collect bacteria and bring germs into your mouth, but dental implants don’t post any additional external hygiene threats and actively improve your oral health by supporting strong jaw bone volume.

Dental implants can be a great investment in your oral health, appearance, and confidence. If you’re thinking of getting dental implants, call our office to learn more and schedule your implant consultation.
