5 Reasons Patients Should Fix Missing Or Damaged Teeth
The appearance of your teeth is very important because they are strongly tied to confidence and comfortably achieving everyday things like eating, talking, and smiling. If you are self-conscious about your smile, a lack of confidence can impact all aspects of your life. Looking at your smile from this perspective, how could you afford to not to make a change for the better?
Here are some additional reasons why you should replace or repair your less-than-perfect smile:
- Improve Your Dental Health – Replacing your missing teeth can fill in those gaps between your teeth that can attract food, plaque, and dangerous bacteria. Filling in these unattractive spaces can mean less accumulation of dangerous substances and improved oral health.
- Strengthen Your Jaw Muscles – Chewing again means that your jaw muscles will be strong once more and you will be able to eat the foods you enjoy once again. This also means that your face will have a fuller appearance and the premature wrinkles around your mouth will be reduced.
- Stop Bone Deterioration – Dental implants are the only permanent tooth replacement option that can actually stop and sometimes reverse the jawbone deterioration that usually occurs with tooth loss.
- Increase Your Self-Esteem – Having confidence when you smile is directly tied to your self-confidence. Consequently, having a better smile means that you can smile with confidence and make a great first impression.
- Improve Your Overall Health – Studies have linked poor oral health to a number of serious diseases like Alzheimer ’s, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Osteoporosis, low birth weight and many other problems. So repairing your oral health can mean better overall health as well.
Can Dental Implants Transform Your Smile?
Dental implants are a popular tooth replacement procedure that has quickly become the standard of care to replace missing or damaged teeth. The device itself is composed of a foundational piece called a fixture, a middle piece called an abutment and the body of the tooth, often referred to as the crown.
Once healed, these parts make up a permanent dental implant that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth.
How Do I Care For My New Dental Implants?
One of the best part of having dental implants is that they require no extra maintenance. Even better, they can be cared for with normal brushing and flossing on a daily basis. They can also be examined while you see your dentist for regular cleaning.
Will My Procedure Be Expensive?
The first question that most of our patients want to know is if this type of makeover is expensive. The answer to this question will depend upon the type of work you need done.
In many cases, the work may be a bit expensive in the beginning but will actually save you money in the future when you can avoid having to replace less-permanent options like bridges or dentures. On average, most dental implants cost between $2,000 and $5,000 per tooth.
However, patients should be aware that this total can vary based upon type of implant used, location, provider, and whether supplemental procedures are necessary.
