500,000 people per year are choosing dental implants to replace their lost teeth and for good reasons. With over a 95% success rate and a life expectancy of 30 years or more, they are a wise investment. However, replacing a tooth with a dental implant involves multiple steps that can take several weeks. There isn’t any better time than now to start your journey to a complete smile. Here are 5 reasons why summer is the best time to get dental implants.
Tooth loss is more than an aesthetic problem. Every tooth is invaluable for a healthy, functional smile. Losing a single tooth can cause your jaw’s density to decrease by 25% within the first year, which will continue to deteriorate over time.
As your jaw weakens, you’re at risk of additional complications, like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. A dental implant is the only solution to keep your jaw strong and healthy because it replaces both the root and the crown.
Whether you’ve recently lost a tooth or you’ve had a gap in your smile for some time, it’s never too late to benefit from dental implants.
With your children out of school, life tends to slow down during the summer. Not to mention, you might have a few vacation days saved up. With more flexibility in your schedule, you’ll have time to recover after your implant placement surgery without having to worry about shuffling kids back and forth or running to the office.
Although you’ll have a brief recovery, it’s time well spent because you’ll never have to worry about tooth loss again. Dental implants are proven to last for decades with the correct aftercare, like brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly. In just a few short weeks, you’ll have a permanent solution for tooth loss.
A dental implant is the only method to replicate the entire tooth structure. It will closely feel like a real tooth and look natural. Research has found that treating tooth loss can take 10 years off your appearance. You will look and feel your best using a nearly perfect replica of your natural tooth.
If you are looking for ways to cut expenses, you’ll be one step closer to having more cash in your pocket by choosing dental implants. Although dental implants cost more initially, they are the most affordable long-term. Preserving your jawbone will prevent common issues caused by missing teeth, so you won’t need costly procedures down the road. You won’t have to budget for replacements, which means dental implants can pay for themselves over time.
Don’t spend another summer feeling insecure about gaps in your smile. Make this summer one to remember by investing in the most reliable solution to replace your lost teeth.
