Dental implants are the ideal way to replace missing teeth because they look and work just like the real things. While this allows them to confer many health benefits such as improved chewing ability, preservation of the alignment of the rest of the teeth, and protection from bone loss in the jaw, they can also improve your appearance by completing your smile with lifelike restorations. Here’s what you should know about how dental implants can make you look your best.
Dental Implants Look Perfectly Natural
If you’ve lost a tooth or many teeth, you’ll certainly agree that the ideal replacement would look exactly like they did. That’s why the artificial teeth attached to dental implants are made from high-quality materials that mimic the appearance of the real thing such as ceramic or porcelain. Your dentist will take special care to ensure that your implants match the rest of your teeth in color and shape. This means that casual observers will not be able to tell that you have dental implants at all.
Dental Implants Preserve Your Other Teeth
Some traditional dental restorations require the alteration of your existing healthy teeth. For example, most dental bridges are anchored with dental crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the gap, which requires the removal of their healthy enamel. Since dental implants are surgically fitted into the jawbone, they enjoy a sturdy hold without any modifications to the surrounding teeth.
Dental Implants Are Easy to Clean
Many other tooth replacement options require special cleaning procedures such as nightly soaking or running threader floss underneath them. Dental implants, on the other hand, only require the same care and hygiene as natural teeth, which includes a daily regimen of brushing, flossing, and using antibacterial mouthwash as well as biannual dental visits. This makes them quite easy to care for after they are fully healed.
Dental implants are the best available way to enjoy a complete smile after tooth loss. If you’re interested in how they can improve your appearance, consulting with your dentist can determine if they can be the right treatment for you.
