Between dentures and dental bridges, millions of individuals have experienced the advantages of a complete and beautiful smile; however, these prosthetics often lack the stability and functionality that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weldondental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> can provide. Superior in virtually every way, they last decades or longer and replace the roots and crowns of missing teeth \u2013 an advantage only achievable by surgically implanting titanium posts into the jawbone. Keep reading to learn about the additional benefits dental implants provide so that you feel more confident agreeing to start treatment. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoy a Fully Restored Bite Force<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your missing teeth may keep you from enjoying a nutrient-rich diet full of foods that are good for your brain, body, and smile, dental implants can give you back your ability to appreciate mealtime again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The placement of your implant posts into the jawbone results in osseointegration \u2013 the fusing of your implants to your bone. This creates a stable and sturdy foundation that allows for a stronger bite. In turn, you can eat the foods you love without difficulty or fear of embarrassment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embrace a More Youthful Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth loss is known to cause bone resorption over time. Without tooth roots stimulating the underlying bone each time you bite down or chew, your facial appearance will change and become saggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having dental implants put into place helps fill the sunken or collapsed areas of your facial shape, giving you a more youthful appearance. Instead of a rotated chin, sagging jowls, or deep vertical lines creating a scowl, you will enjoy a more radiant look that has others asking \u201cWhat\u2019s your secret\u201d for appearing so young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoy a Longer-Lasting Set of Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures and dental bridges may have their advantages when it comes to serving as non-invasive methods of tooth replacement; however, they do not last as long as dental implants. These prosthetics tend to require replacement after several years, but implants have the potential to last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, titanium posts can withstand daily wear and tear for 30+ years, but some patients report enjoying their permanently placed teeth for much longer. Of course, their longevity depends on how well you take care of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to dental implants, there are countless benefits you can expect to enjoy. If you have questions about these prosthetics or want to find out if you\u2019re a good candidate for treatment, don\u2019t hesitate to schedule an appointment with a trusted implant dentist today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><br>Dr. Ryan Weldon has been serving the residents of Rome and its surrounding areas since 2011, delivering comprehensive oral healthcare that truly changes lives.
