The Benefits of Dental Implants
You want your smile to last a lifetime but sometimes tooth loss is unavoidable. However, thanks to the latest in dental implant technology, you can replace missing teeth with prosthetic teeth that will last a lifetime. Dr. Steve Yi is a dentist at El Paso Viva Dental. He can give you an examination and see if dental implants are right for you.
The Many Benefits of Dental Implants
El Paso dental patients have found that they benefit from dental implants in the following ways:
- Improved appearance: One of the main benefits of implants is that they can restore your facial structure, so you can say goodbye to sagging cheeks and wrinkles around your lips. They can also preserve the structure of your jawbone. When you are missing many or all of your teeth, your jawbone no longer gets the stimulation it needs to regrow. Dental implants provide this necessary stimulation.
- Increased self-confidence: Because you can bite, chew, speak, and smile without any embarrassment of missing teeth, dental implants restore your self-confidence.
- Easy to maintain: Unlike dentures, implants do not have to be removed. You can practice normal dental hygiene to keep them clean and healthy.
- Improve overall health: Dental implants don’t just improve your oral health, but they eliminate your increased risk of disease caused by failing teeth and gums. For example, studies show that periodontal disease left unchecked can lead to strokes and heart attacks and other chronic diseases. Because dental implants improve the health of your mouth, they also improve your overall health.
Dental implants are a good choice for adults of all ages whether you have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or infection.
