When you\u2019re missing one or more permanent teeth, it can be embarrassing to share your smile with the world. But some people don\u2019t consider getting restorations like dental implants<\/a> because they\u2019re afraid that they might look  fake or obvious. Unfortunately, however, this doesn\u2019t do anything to solve the problem and can ultimately make it worse. Here\u2019s why if you suffer from tooth loss, you shouldn\u2019t be ashamed to get dental implants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fake News<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the main reasons people are hesitant to consider dental implants is that they\u2019re afraid they look unrealistic or will stand out in their smile. The good news is that the restorations themselves (the crown, bridge, or denture) are custom made to match your existing teeth and once installed are virtually indetectable from the rest of your smile. In fact, they\u2019re so realistic you may even forget which ones aren\u2019t real!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another fear many patients have about dental implants is that they\u2019re just for looks and don\u2019t function like real teeth. The truth is that because they are permanently implanted into the jawbone, dental implants are just as strong as if not stronger than natural ones. In fact, they can be used to enjoy a full diet and provide just as much biteforce as your biological smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure Hold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike dentures which can slip while you\u2019re eating and speaking, dental implants will stay securely in place, so there\u2019s no need to worry about embarrassing moments during brunch with friends or out on a date. In fact, because your dental implants don\u2019t need to be removed to clean or soak overnight, you can even enjoy unprecedented freedom to travel and care for your smile without having to hide your prosthetic when it\u2019s not in your mouth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convenient Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, because your dental implants are permanently attached, you can keep them clean the same way you do your real teeth: by brushing them twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste and flossing them daily.  Be sure to maintain your regular, six-month dental cleaning and exams too. The good news is that unlike with dentures, there\u2019s no need to take them out after meals or invest in special soaks, pastes, or adhesives to maintain them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, unlike temporary restorations like dentures, dental implants are the only permanent tooth loss solution. They can be made to look and feel just like real teeth, so nobody needs to know they\u2019re not natural besides you and your dentist (and she won\u2019t tell!). So don\u2019t be embarrassed or ashamed to restore your smile. Talk to your dentist about dental implants today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
