How dental implants protect the integrity of your oral health
During the many years that we have been in the dental industry here at Old Windsor dental clinic, we have found that it is quite common for patients to be interested in dental implants Windsor to improve their dental appearance – a foremost factor in making a positive impression. To be sure this is a worthy goal, but there is far more to celebrate about dental implants Windsor than one might at first think.
As a modern, artificial, tooth-replacement option, the treatment belongs to two dental realms; cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry. In cosmetic dentistry, artificial tooth implants are used to great effect to enhance the appearance of the mouth when adult teeth are lost or are knocked out – the gaps missing teeth create can affect the aesthetics of the mouth. The treatment is equally effective when attempting to achieve restorative dentistry goals. Missing adult teeth are a serious cause for concern and it is a matter of urgency that a patient should seek to find a suitable alternative to replace them. Here’s why this matters so much.
How dental implants Windsor work to your benefit
Implant dentistry boosts secure eating functionality
This is arguably the most notable reason for choosing implants over more conventional restorative devices. The metal implant is surgically embedded to become a natural part of the jawbone. This security is a major factor that assures a patient there is very little likelihood of the implant moving about, creating challenges when attempting to bite and chew.
Implant dentistry benefits nutritional needs
For the body to receive all the nutrients it needs to function well, it is imperative that a person’s diet consists of a variety of foods, covering all the food groups recommended by health professionals. Dental implants make this possible.
Implant dentistry protects oral health
Not many patients are aware that the gaps left open by missing adult teeth compromise the health of neighbouring teeth, leading them to move out of their natural positions and creating all sorts of other undesirable consequences. But this is not all, as in addition to this when teeth are lost, the jawbone loses the stimulation provided by the roots of teeth without which jawbone density deteriorates.
Implant dentistry benefits psychosocial well-being
Patients will find that with their improved dental appearance, they are more ready and willing to smile, make friends, seek better job opportunities and find romance, all thanks to the boost in self-confidence.
Implant dentistry is more comfortable
Unlike other traditional methods used to replace lost permanent teeth, artificial tooth implants offer far superior comfort and do not scrape against or damage surrounding teeth.
We have found that patients are also encouraged by the new look of their smiles to take a greater interest in preserving them, by diligently attending to their at-home oral hygiene responsibilities and taking a more proactive approach to their dental health. It is the first rule in dentistry that full oral health can only be assured after a professionally-qualified dentist has examined a patient’s teeth and gums.
