All winter, you’ve waited and counted down until summer, and it’s finally here! You’d like to go all in for summer, but the reality is that you have missing teeth you need to replace sooner rather than later. Well, did you know that this time of year is actually a great time to get dental implants? Why is summer perfect for beginning this process? Check out these reasons!
Relaxed Schedule and Easygoing Vibes
Most workers save up some paid time off for a little summer break. Plus, during these months, people tend to have a more relaxed attitude, which could allow you to schedule more convenient appointments to get you started.
Whether you intend to enjoy a staycation by the pool or travel the world, chances are that part of your plans includes some amount of relaxation. Contrary to the heat, summertime comes with chill, easygoing vibes, which are perfect for when you’re recovering from getting dental implants. If you get the surgery this summer, you’ll already be resting, and you’ll be replacing your missing teeth at the same time!
Soft, Cool Foods
While certain summer foods like corn on the cob or juicy steak would be difficult to eat immediately after getting dental implants, others are perfect for oral recovery. Smoothies, yogurt, cold soups, and more are gentle on your mouth and are refreshing for the season. As a result, you don’t have to miss out on some of your favorites while you receive dental implants. Plus, by this time next year, your dental implants will be ready for whatever dish you want to enjoy.
Time to Use Your Dental Insurance Benefits
At this point in the year, you may still have time to take advantage of available dental insurance benefits. Although the implant placement surgery is typically not covered, preliminary procedures like gum disease treatment, bone grafts, and others generally are. Also, your dental insurance will likely pay for part of the cost of the restoration. However, if you want to take advantage of your insurance, you need to act quickly and start the implant process as soon as possible before the end of the year!
Ultimately, replacing missing teeth with dental implants is a good idea regardless of the time of year, but summer is particularly conducive to getting this treatment started. So don’t wait—reach out to your dentist to talk about receiving this option as soon as possible!
