\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It can be embarrassing to have missing, badly decayed, or damaged teeth, especially if they\u2019re noticeable when you speak, eat, or smile. But one thing you definitely shouldn\u2019t be embarrassed about is replacing them with the help of dental implants<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While no, they\u2019re not your \u201creal\u201d teeth, dental implants aren\u2019t like other types of restorations. These permanent prosthetics are attached to your jawbone, so you can chew, speak, and smile confidently, without ever having to worry that they\u2019ll shift, fall out, or cause speech problems. If you\u2019re considering replacing your teeth with dental implants, here are a few important reasons why there\u2019s nothing to be ashamed of!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Eat What You Like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you wear certain prosthetics like dentures, you need to be careful about what you eat. That\u2019s because some restorations can fall out of place or even break if you use them for very hard or crunchy foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With dental implants, however, you needn\u2019t worry about them falling out or not being able to withstand those potato chips! Because they are permanently affixed to your jawbone, they provide plenty of biteforce and can eat a wide variety of foods, so you\u2019ll never have to turn down another treat unless you want to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Here to Stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because your dental implants are permanent, you don\u2019t have to struggle to clean them like you might with other types of restorations. They stay in your mouth, so all you need to do to clean them is brush them twice daily and floss them once a day, just like you did with your real teeth. You also should still plan on visiting your dentist twice a year for your regular, biannual exam and cleaning, but you won\u2019t need to soak them, remove them, or replace them every five to ten years like you do with dentures and bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll Protect Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to restoring your smile, your new dental implants will protect it. That\u2019s because your implant post simulates tooth roots, meaning that once attached, they will provide your jawbone with the necessary stimulation needed to prevent it from deteriorating and causing you to lose any remaining teeth and bone density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019ll Make You Look and Feel Younger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Missing teeth can make your face look tired and sunken but replacing them with dental implants can give you a rejuvenating boost! You\u2019ll look and feel younger, and the increase in confidence you can expect from your restored smile will make it easier to feel comfortable in social situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Dentist is Judgement-Free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, if you\u2019ve been holding off on repairing your smile out of fear of judgement from your dentist, it\u2019s time to stop! Your dentist and dental team are here to help you improve your oral health, not shame you for its condition. They want to ensure that your teeth and gums are in good condition, or that if you need to replace missing teeth you can do so and once again enjoy the benefits of a beautiful, functional smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, you should never feel embarrassed by the condition of your oral health, or by taking control of missing or damaged teeth by replacing them with dental implants. To learn more about the benefits of this life-changing treatment, speak to your dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
