Losing teeth is bad enough without living with the stigma that tooth loss brings. In a world where people are often judged by their appearance, tooth loss can definitely dampen your spirits. Losing teeth as a young adult can be particularly devastating. At Dallas Laser Dentistry in Dallas, Texas, we can help turn your situation around with dental implants. Implants can restore your smile’s original function and beauty by replacing one missing tooth, several teeth, or all of your teeth.
If you’re dealing with the stress and embarrassment of tooth loss, Dr. Mary Swift and our team encourage you to consider dental implant treatment. Implants replace your whole tooth structure, including the crown and roots. This gives your smile a realistic, natural-looking appearance. To get implants, surgery is required to permanently place titanium implant screws into your jaw, functioning like tooth roots. Once the implants have fused with your bone tissue, we’ll top them with a dental crown, bridge, or dentures to make your smile whole, healthy, and functional again.
Implants can help you overcome the stigma of tooth loss by:
Porcelain crowns are the preferred restoration option for replacing a single missing tooth with implants. We’ll create an implant bridge to replace multiple missing teeth in a row. These restorations will integrate seamlessly with the surrounding teeth to complete your smile naturally. Implant dentures can eliminate the embarrassment associated with losing all your teeth. With the support of implanted tooth roots, your pearly whites will look real and function like natural teeth for eating, smiling, laughing, and other simple pleasures of life.
Improved oral health is another benefit of implant dentistry near me in Dallas, TX. Implants can prevent oral health issues often accompanying the loss of natural teeth, namely loose teeth, shifting teeth, bone loss, increased decay, and sunken facial features. Implants stimulate bone growth to prevent bone loss and maintain facial structure. They support nearby teeth to keep them from coming loose and shifting. Implants facilitate dental hygiene to keep decay to a minimum.
By restoring your ability to chew, implants enable you to enjoy a variety of nutritious foods. You’ll get more nutritional value from a varied diet that includes meat, fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts, and other crunchy foods that are difficult to eat with missing teeth. A healthier diet can boost your overall health, strength, and energy.
Restoring your smile with implants will restore your happiness, confidence, and self-esteem. You’ll regain comfort in social settings and gain the confidence to advance your career. A complete smile can replace anxiety, depression, and fear with a positive, optimistic outlook for the future.
