Dental implants can do much to support your health. They can preserve your jawbone, provide you with strong chewing power, and more. But they can also help you love what you see in the mirror! Indeed, they offer some outstanding cosmetic benefits. How can dental implants help you look your best? This blog post explains.
Preserve Your Facial Shape
After the loss of natural teeth, a process known as resorption occurs. Basically, this means that your jawbone starts to deteriorate. Over time, this can make your face appear shorter. Your cheeks may also take on a hollow, sunken look, and you may be more likely to form fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth.
Dental implants do more than just fill gaps in your smile. They can prevent or even reverse the process of bone resorption. By keeping your jawbone strong and whole, they can help you to maintain your face’s youthful shape for as long as possible.
Custom Restorations
Every smile is unique, and so are dental implants. Your dental team will tailor each crown, bridge, or denture to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. This custom approach means your new teeth will blend seamlessly into your smile. You do not need to worry about mismatched shades or awkward shapes. Plus, restorations are made of materials, such as porcelain, that are almost indistinguishable from natural tooth enamel. The result is a flawless, harmonious appearance that restores your confidence and allows you to smile without hesitation.
Long-Lasting Beauty
Dental implants offer a cosmetic solution that stands the test of time. Unlike some traditional dental options, implants are designed to resist stains and maintain their color. With proper care, your implant restorations will remain bright and attractive for decades.
Hidden Implant Posts
Most dental implant posts are made of titanium, which has a dark metallic color. However, you do not need to be overly worried about that dampening your smile’s natural beauty. Once an implant is placed in your jaw, your natural tissues should keep it well-concealed. (Some patients notice a slight grayish tint to their gums where an implant is, but this issue can usually be avoided via skillful surgical techniques.)
Dental implants do more than restore your chewing power. They also look amazing! Talk to a qualified care provider to learn more about how this treatment might boost your confidence.
