As we find our bearings in this new year, many people are considering finally acting on things they’ve been putting off for a long time. Some of those promises may have to do with oral health.
For example, some want to improve their smiles and deal with tooth loss from years past. Tooth loss can be a brutal thing to deal with. It can make you self-conscious about your smile, cause eating difficulties, and can even lead to other health issues.
Luckily, there are multiple ways to deal with this issue. None are more effective than dental implants. Here’s why:
The Versatility of Dental Implants
One of the best perks of dental implants is their versatility. If you have just a single tooth missing, you can get a single implant. Have multiple teeth to replace? You can get an implant-supported bridge. You can also get implant-supported dentures if you’re looking to upgrade from your regular dentures. Meanwhile, the All-on-4 treatment allows you to replace an entire set of upper and/or lower teeth with a single arch placed on four implants. No matter what your tooth loss situation, there’s a dental implant solution for you.
The Benefits
When you get your dental implants, it’ll almost be like you never lost your teeth at all. They’re permanently in place so you don’t have to pop them out to clean them or worry about them falling out. They look exactly like real teeth, so people won’t be able to tell you were ever missing teeth. They feel completely natural and they functional like real teeth, allowing you to eat with no restrictions.
Alternatives
One thing worth noting that dental implants and its different variations are more costly. However, there are other options. Dentures and bridges are both effective tooth-replacement options that may be available to you.
