In addition to having noticeable gaps between the teeth, it can be more difficult to eat, speak and hold saliva in the mouth. It can also cause you to experience jawbone deterioration and a loss of facial structure. The good news is that you have several tooth replacement options to choose from depending on what you are looking for. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andersondentalgahanna.com\/dental-implants.html\">Dental implants<\/a> have become a popular option because of their many benefits. Continue reading to learn about some of the ways that they can increase your confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Make You Look Younger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you struggle with tooth loss, your jawbone is not getting the stimulation it needs from regular chewing in order to stay strong. Ultimately, the bone will begin to deteriorate over time, causing you to be left with wrinkled lips and sunken cheeks. This can add 10 years to your overall appearance. Implants are the only tooth replacement option out there that replace the root of the missing teeth and prevent these side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved Speech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have gaps in your smile, it can be challenging to speak clearly. Even if you have dentures, when they are ill-fitting, they can cause you to mumble and slur your words. On the other hand, dental implants will not cause this to happen. They allow you to speak clearly without any concerns of your teeth sliding and slipping around your mouth. Once your implants have healed completely, they will be just as stationary as your natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easier to Eat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is difficult to eat some of your favorite foods when you\u2019re missing teeth. Even if you have dentures, you won\u2019t have nearly as good bite power as you would with dental implants. After your implants completely fuse to the jawbone, you won\u2019t have any eating restrictions to follow because they restore up to 90% of your chewing ability. Ultimately, eating will be easy again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long Lasting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth loss is permanent, so your tooth replacement option should be as well. Dentures only last around 7 to 10 years before needing to be replaced. Bridges last up to 15 years, but dental implants can last upwards of 25 years when they are cared for properly. This means that you might never have to worry about your missing teeth ever again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for a boost of confidence, dental implants could be the answer. Ask your dentist if you would make a good candidate so you can begin working towards a smile that you are proud to show off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Brooke Buller graduated from The Ohio State University with her dental degree before completing a wide range of continuing education courses.
