Dental implants are some of the most celebrated tooth replacement options by dentists—the so-called “implant revolution” has completely changed the face of dentistry to the benefit of patients.
However, as incredible as tooth replacement can be and as far as it has progressed, there are people who are self-conscious about showing their face with a new tooth in their mouth. In the worst cases, that can prevent people from getting the care they seriously need.
In the interest of changing the narrative, here are a few reasons why dental implants aren’t anything to be embarrassed about.
Their Realism
Dental implants are meticulously crafted from some of the most sophisticated materials available. The restoration is generally made of porcelain, and designed by specialists who are experts at matching the rest of someone’s smile.
That means that someone who is meeting you for the first time will have a hard time telling that you’ve had dental work done—most people won’t even know that you have one until you say something.
Their Stability
One of the worst things about missing a tooth is the way it affects your ability to enjoy meals with the people you love. Dental implants can restore a lot of the bite force that you may have lost along with your tooth, giving you the ability to enjoy food again in a way that you may not have been able to for a long time.
Their Investment in Yourself
Dental implants can provide you with all kinds of health benefits, like protecting the jaw from atrophy and allowing you to process nutrition properly. In that way, this kind of dental work represents an investment in yourself. For that reason, they’re something to take pride in, not to be embarrassed about.
