Many denture wearers are familiar with the scenario; you’re mid conversation or halfway through a meal, and your teeth start moving around. It’s an awful situation, to have to try and retain your teeth and your dignity. Your teeth becoming dislodged can be embarrassing and frequently, this fear stops people from living their lives to the fullest.
Dental implants are permanent. They are attached by your dentist or dental surgeon, and they are there for life. There’s no need for adhesives or any specialised care, they are secure, attached and they don’t move. You can confidently go out for meals again.
Ill-fitting or worn dentures can affect speech. Slurring, mumbling, lisping and lack of clarity of speech are all common side effects of dentures. Some people change their behaviour as a result- not seeing their friends and family as often, no public speaking and a drop in self-expression. Because dental implants are permanently screwed in and custom made, there’s no movement, no wear and tear, and no speech problems.
A missing tooth, or teeth, can truly affect how you feel about your smile. Similarly, badly damaged or degraded teeth can make people extremely conscious of their appearance. And even with dentures, they don’t always look natural.
Dental implants look like your own natural teeth, just better. The porcelain finish looks incredibly natural, and you can choose the colour to match existing teeth. No gaps, no crooked teeth, no cavities and no broken teeth. Just a beautiful smile you can be proud of.
When there are no teeth in the jaw, the bone starts to degrade. The longer that there’s no tooth, more of the jaw is resorbed into the body. This can create a scenario where the jawbone is very thin. This can create a sunken appearance, with recessed jaws, and a sagging, dropping face.
Implants support the jawbone around it. They encourage fresh growth of bone, as well as stabilising what’s there. This maintains the shape of your face and keeps you looking youthful for longer. The integration of the implant with the bone preserves the jaw for longer.
Speak to your dentist today about how dental implants give you your life back. One of the biggest benefits of implants is that people say they feel confident again. They can smile, eat, talk, sing and laugh with complete happiness that their teeth, and smile, look amazing. You can have this too, with no stress around socialising, eating in public, or a fear of photos.
