Dental implants are one of the most often-recommended methods of tooth replacement, and any dentist would be happy to tell you why. They outlast other kinds of dental work by two to one, and they offer a realism that these other kinds of dental work just can’t.
If you’ve been missing teeth for a while, the prospect of having dental work done might make you a little bit self-conscious. It’ll certainly be a fairly big change, but not one you should be embarrassed about. Here’s why.
They’re Subtle
Anytime someone gets major dental work, they’re usually a little bit concerned about it looking “fake,” or that it’ll stand out from their natural teeth. Thankfully, dental implants won’t give you anything to worry about in this department.
The fact that they’re surgically implanted in the jaw means that they look just like the rest of your teeth, and a good dentist will work hard to ensure that the crown blends in perfectly with your smile. When people meet you for the first time, odds are that they’ll have no idea that you were ever missing a tooth at all.
They’re Convenient
With dentures, people are frequently concerned that their prosthetics will fall out while they’re talking or eating. If the dentures fit well this is unlikely to happen, but it is unavoidable that you’d have to take out your dentures occasionally to clean them.
This can be a point of anxiety for some people—thankfully, that isn’t the case with dental implants. You can clean your new teeth along with the rest of them, meaning that you never have to worry about when it’s okay to take them out.
They’ll Give You Confidence
Ultimately, dental implants are an investment in yourself and your happiness. Having a smile you can feel proud to show off to others is something worthwhile in itself, and you’ll be surprised at how much better you’ll feel.
That energy will be obvious to others, who will be able to pick up on your newfound confidence. Far from being embarrassed, dental implants may let you approach life with renewed vigor.
