Dental Implants To Impact In Smile Appearance

Tooth loss can have a significant influence on one’s quality of life. Not only do missing teeth negatively affect one’s smile and facial esthetics, but they also create problems in eating and speaking. If you have lost of or more of your natural teeth and you’re looking for a tooth replacement option that not only restores your ability to speak and eat normally but also gives you a naturally beautiful and attractive, dental implants should be your first choice.

This article explains why Glendale dental implants are the best tooth-replacement option and how they can help you get a smile that you can be genuinely proud of.

What is an Implant?

According to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, an implant is a small metallic, screw-shaped fixture inserted into the jawbone - to serve as a replacement root. Once an implant has firmly anchored itself within the jawbone, your dentist will attach a connector - known as the abutment - over it to secure a suitable prosthesis to the implant, such as a crown, bridge, or an implant-supported denture.

Who Can Benefit from Dental Implants?

If you have lost one or more natural teeth, then you are a candidate for getting your missing teeth replaced with dental implants. The best thing about Glendale Dental Implants is that whether you have single, multiple, or all teeth missing in a jaw, you can get them replaced with an implant-supported prosthesis. Besides, you don’t need a single implant for every single missing tooth. Your dentist will plan your prosthesis in such a way that one implant will be sufficient to support up to two or three artificial teeth.

How Can Implants Help Improve my Smile?

1. Unmatched Esthetics

Tooth replacement options like removable dentures contain artificial teeth made of acrylic resins, which often get stained over time and affect one’s smile. On the other hand, your dentist will attach esthetically pleasing and natural-looking zirconia teeth to your implants that become virtually indistinguishable from your teeth. As a result, they look, feel, and function just like your own teeth.

2. Jawbone Conservation

Removable dentures rely on the underlying soft tissues and jawbone for their support and retention. Over time, the removable dentures exert pressure on the jawbone, resulting in their resorption - which is observed in the form of changes in the facial profile and shape - making one look older due to the appearance of creases and facial wrinkles. On the other hand, dental implants have a unique property known as osseointegration, which allows them to promote bone formation around them, making them firmly embeped within the bone and preventing age-related facial changes.

3. Boost in Self-confidence

When you get a fully functional set of teeth with implants, you will naturally feel more confident. This will reflect onto your face and personality, making you look younger and prettier.
