The decision to opt for dental implants is not always easy. Some people may focus only on the potential disadvantages, such as the fact that it is a surgical procedure and that instills respect, that it is a treatment that may seem expensive at first glance (even if it is the best possible investment in the long term), and that it is a procedure that requires a lot of execution time; between the first consultation and the installation of the final crowns.
However, we always recommend that our patients weigh these apparent drawbacks against the great potential of this innovative dental alternative: looking and feeling better forever.
As Dentists we know that the best thing that can happen to a patient is that he never loses a tooth. However, it is a reality that is far removed from our daily clinical practice, since almost 97% of people lose some piece throughout their lives.
But as Dentists we also know that the best option to replace missing teeth is dental implants, and that no other prosthetic alternative comes close. The conventional fixed prosthesis occupies the second place, but very far, since its confection always implies the cutting of tooth stumps and the radical wear of healthy teeth.
If you still have any questions, we briefly outline the following 7 ways dental implants will surely improve your quality of life:
1- You Will Be Able to Eat and Chew with Absolute Normality
In the past, removable dentures were the most popular option for tooth replacement, but they forced us to sacrifice functionality in order to achieve an acceptable appearance. Dental implants, in addition to offering unbeatable aesthetics, provide functionality very similar to that of a natural tooth, which has made them the ideal and definitive solution to tooth loss.
Although modern dentures are much more advanced than their predecessors, it is inevitable that they will move slightly during chewing. Thus, removable dentures force us to modify our diet and eat with caution. The loss of chewing capacity, when wearing dentures, is very important and can reach 90%.
Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. They do not have to be removed to clean them and you can take care of them as if they were a natural tooth. The most important thing, in addition to the natural look and feel, is that dental implants will allow you to function normally.
Dental implants, firmly placed in your jaws, will not move and will exert all the force of a natural tooth. You will not have to modify your diet and you can use them with all the confidence of a natural tooth. You will be able to eat normally and continue to enjoy all the flavors and textures.
In addition to improving chewing and digestion, dental implants help preserve the bone tissue of the jaw, which after the loss of a tooth can degenerate to the point of threatening the stability of neighboring teeth.
2- You Will Look Younger and More Attractive
In today’s society, where image plays such an important role, people’s physical appearance becomes the key point for interpersonal relationships and self-esteem. Taking into account that the aesthetics of the body, and especially that of the face, are very important for the impression that each human being projects; the smile is considered as the main letter of introduction.
Definitely a white, radiant and perfectly aligned smile makes people look much more attractive, sensual and successful. This will undoubtedly increase your confidence, health and self-esteem, and can give a great boost to your career and your social relationships; in work and personal life.
The fact that you do not have to show off hooks and plastic portions when speaking or smiling, is sure to make a big difference in your life.
3- You Will Feel Happier and More Animated
By not having limitations to eat, smile and interact with other people, you will feel happier and more animated in your day to day.
Many studies on dental implant rehabilitation have shown that most people take a more positive attitude on life at the end of treatment. The improvement in family and couple relationships, the reactivation of social life, job promotions and the reboot of old sports practices; have been the direct consequences most frequently reported in these studies, and logically all related to the increase of well-being and personal self-esteem.
4- You Will Be More Comfortable and Speak Clearly
Without bulky or large appliances in the mouth, without the palate covered by plastic and without the fear that the prosthesis will come off at any time and cause an embarrassing situation.
In addition, your phonation and pronunciation will be completely normal, thus avoiding the typical bluff and rare way of speaking of the wearers of dentures.
5- You Will Avoid Future Dental Problems
Dental implants represent the only independent and self-sufficient form of oral rehabilitation, that is, it can be performed without involving, compromising and affecting other healthy teeth in the patient’s mouth.
When conventional fixed bridges (on natural teeth) are made, it is always necessary to grind and wear neighboring healthy teeth to prepare the pillars and to be able to fix the restoration. This obviously constitutes an invasive treatment, which in the long run can compromise the vitality and longevity of pieces that were intact and completely healthy. If, for example, the patient is not careful with his oral hygiene, he could lose 2 teeth in the medium term by just replacing 1.
Not to mention removable dentures! They are extremely deficient from a biomechanical point of view, they are supported and retained by natural teeth, they always generate damaging forces on them and cause the bone and the supporting periodontal structures to be resorbed over time. The result: new dental losses and new dentures that are increasingly more and more extensive, until arriving in many cases, to the total prosthesis.
6- You Will Improve Your General Health Status
By being able to chew properly and normally, you can also adopt a healthier diet that includes foods rich in fiber, which are difficult to fragment and are removed from the diet of people with many dental losses or removable dentures.
A high fiber diet normalizes bowel movements, promotes intestinal health, reduces cholesterol levels, helps control glucose, increases longevity of people and very importantly; it is fundamental in the prevention of colon cancer.
In addition, by grinding the foods well, they can be swallowed properly, mixing with the salivary juices to start the digestion process. In fact, many studies show that those who chew well, absorb nutrients better. But that is not all, since the feeling of satiety is also promoted; decreasing appetite, overall intake and the tendency to obesity and diabetes.
7- You Will Save Money
Yes, even if it is hard to believe, you will save money!
Although the initial investment for an implant treatment is undoubtedly greater than that necessary for the elaboration of other types of dental prostheses, in the long run, the overall expense in dental treatments can be much lower.
If you choose for example a conventional fixed prosthesis, you will have to replace it every 10 or 15 years, and in addition, it is very likely that you will have to invest large amounts of money several times in root canals, reconstruction of abutments, posts and cores, and any other type of pre-prosthetic oral preparation.
On the contrary, with proper care, dental implants can last up to more than 25 years in the mouth, as they have been conceived as a permanent dental solution.
“Without Any Discussion, and Compared to Any Other Prosthetic Alternative, Dental Implants Are Synonymous with Health and Quality of Life”.
