Dentists often recommend dental implants as the best form of tooth replacement due to the many oral and overall health benefits they provide. Indeed, they can support your jawbone health, improve your chewing power, and allow you to eat a nutritious diet. But how do they look? You may be happy to learn that dental implants also come with some impressive cosmetic benefits, including the following:
They Look Like Natural Teeth
Dental implants are carefully designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth, making it almost impossible to distinguish them from your original smile. Each implant restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) is tailored to complement your unique features and blend in seamlessly with any remaining natural teeth.
Plus, the materials used to make the restorations even reflect light similar to natural enamel. And since the implant posts themselves will be well-concealed beneath your gumline, there is no need to worry that onlookers will perceive your smile as fake.
They Preserve Your Facial Shape
When teeth are missing, the bone beneath them begins to deteriorate, which can lead to sunken cheeks, premature aging, and a change in your facial appearance. This phenomenon is known as facial collapse. One huge cosmetic advantage of dental implants is their ability to maintain your facial structure by preventing bone loss.
They are able to do so because they stimulate the jawbone, making sure that your body delivers the materials needed to keep it strong and whole. This can allow you to maintain a more youthful overall appearance.
They Can Increase Your Confidence
Confidence is beautiful! Sadly, if you have noticeable gaps in your smile, you might hesitate to smile in public, and you could withdraw from social situations. Implants can restore a complete and confident smile, which can make you more attractive to others and help you thrive whether you are going out to dinner with friends, exploring the dating scene, or seeking to impress clients at work.
Dental implants are great for your health, but they are also great for your appearance! Talk to a qualified dentist to learn more about what you can expect from this transformative tooth replacement option.
