ART Dentistry Restore Your Tooth Functionality | Page 10

The benefits of Dental Implants • • • • Easy food consumption. Removable dentures have a tendency to slip and slide during any strenuous mouth or jaw movement and this can make eating very difficult. But as dental implants act as your own teeth they remain in place while chewing and thus make eating easier. This also reduces the pain that can sometimes be caused by dentures while chewing with any force. Improved speech. Due to removable dentures often slipping and impeding tongue movement, talking can become difficult as the saliva builds up in the mouth and causes slurring and drooling. But with dental implants it is guaranteed that they won’t slip or cause any of these problems. A boost in morale and self-esteem. Dental implants mean that you will never have to hide your smile again for fear of your dentures slipping out of place. There will be no gaps in your teeth or any unfortunate slips with your dentures again as the implants become part of your bone structure. Oral Health. Other dental procedures regarding bridges and things often have to reduce or file away at the existing teeth surrounding the afflicted area, this is not the case with dental implants. No teeth need to be altered as the implant sustains and supports itself. This means your long term oral hygiene and health improves vastly. The implants also allow access between teeth which make them easier to clean and improves their health.
