Dental Implants Bring Joy Back to Life
Imagine Having the Feel of Natural Teeth Again According to the U.S. Surgeon General and despite improved dental care,
by age 50 the average American is missing 12 teeth. One-third of those over
65 are missing all of their teeth. Loss of teeth and the instability of
dentures pose problems for many people. Physically, they feel young and
healthy, but the don't enjoy life like they used to. They love talking and
going to eat with friends and family, but feel self-conscious because of
their teeth.
As boomers look for better ways to regain their smiles, dental
specialists are perfecting new technologies, such as dental implants, that
look, feel and function like natural teeth.
Dental implants are anchored in the jawbone as replacement roots and act
as permanent teeth. The entire process takes three to six months and results
can last a lifetime, much longer than traditional dentures which place false
teeth on top of gums with adhesives.
A smile can affect your outlook on life. Dental implants work for anyone,
whether they are 18 or 80. The joy patients experience after receiving
dental implants is very rewarding. They get the courage to live the lives
they've wanted.
Offering benefits such as improved speech and a sense of security, the
use of dental implants is on the rise. Additional benefits include:
- Improved Eating: There is now need to worry about
certain foods; chewing with dental implants il like chewing with natural
teeth.
- Appearance: With traditional dentures, the jaw can
shrink due to lack of use; implants actually stimulate bone growth by
keeping the jaw active. Implants also look more like your natural teeth
so that most people can't even tell you have them.
- Comfort: Moving dentures sometimes irritate or
injure gums.
According to dental implant recipients, however, the greatest benefit is
self-esteem. Most would have done it years ago if they knew how great they
would feel and look. Not having to worry about your teeth and more brings a
wonderful sense of freedom.
The cost for dental implants varies. It is important to check with your
insurance company before planning to undergo the procedure, which is best if
performed by a dentist who has received special training.
