Are you suffering from damaged, missing, or infected teeth? Are you looking for a way to restore your smile and give your quality of life a boost? Dental implants may be just what you need! Here are 6 of the top benefits that you will experience when you get dental implants.
As humans age, it is natural for our teeth to slowly lose their luster. Chips, infections, and lost teeth will likely happen to you at some point in your life, no matter how well you take care of your oral health. However, not treating these problems when they do occur can lead to many issues, such as:
- Tooth pain
- Bone loss
- Difficulty chewing and speaking
- General health problems
When the time comes, you have some options to take care of your health and protect you from any of the aforementioned complications. One of the best options is dental implants. Keep reading to learn more about the benefits of this restorative dental procedure.

What are Dental Implants?
You may have heard the term 'Dental Implants' at some point before and you may have instantly thought about removable dentures. However, dentures and dental implants are quite different. Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking method of restoring and replacing missing teeth. To many, they may seem nearly identical to dentures, however, they come with many additional benefits. Here are 6 of the top benefits of dental implants.
4 SIGNS YOU ARE READY FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS
1. Natural and Comfortable Feel
Dental implant technology has come a long way over the past few years. While at one point, dental implants may have been synonymous with lack of comfort, that is no longer the case. Dental implants are a comfortable and permanent tooth replacement option that have been likened by many people to the original teeth that they are replacing. When your dental implants feel like the teeth you were born with, you will be able to eat, speak, and live your life with confidence and without worry.
2. They Can Last a Lifetime
The beauty of dental implants in comparison to dentures is that they are permanently implanted and can remain in good condition for many years, as long as you take good care of them. With proper care and preservation, your dental implants can last just as long as normal, healthy teeth will. Many of our patients who have gotten these implants have reported never needing replacement or repair.
Additionally, dental implants have been designed to have an incredibly low chance of failure. This is due to the solid grounding of implants into the jawbone, making them difficult to dislodge. When implant surgery is completed by experienced, qualified dentists, such as the ones at our NE Calgary Dental Clinic, the chance of implant failure is nearly minuscule.
3. They Improve Your Aesthetic Appearance
For many of our patients, this is the number one reason they opt for dental implants. If you are feeling self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth, permanent dental implants may be just what you need to boost your confidence and feel good about your smile again. Due to their permanent nature by fusing the dental implants to the jaw bone, they look, feel, and move more naturally than loose-fitting, removable dentures.
4. Your Diet Won't Be Restricted
If your teeth are beginning to fail you, you may find many of the following foods becoming more challenging to eat:
- Popcorn
- Steak
- Nuts
- Candy
- Apples
- Many, many more
However, with dental implants, you will find that most, if not all, of these foods will become simple to eat, just like they used to be. Many studies into the effectiveness of dental implants have shown that they can be up to 80% as effective as natural teeth. In comparison, ordinary dentures are typically only 25% as effective as regular teeth. With dental implants, you will be able to eat all of the foods you want without worry.
5. Improved Speech Clarity
If your teeth are beginning to fail, or you have non-permanent removable dentures, you may be having a difficult time speaking clearly. You may sound more mumbled, slurred, or possibly even incoherent in severe cases. Dental implants can permanently replace your missing or damaged teeth, making speaking much easier and more comfortable.
6. More Defined Facial Features
The most under-valued benefit of dental implants is their bone preservation and restoration properties. Due to their permanent nature, dental implants act as a hard buffer, blocking the sensitive areas of your mouth (jawbone, natural teeth, gums, other oral structures). This reduces the rate at which many of these features will deteriorate, and in many cases, allows for the creation of a robust healing area, where your body will naturally rebuild already lost areas of bone and tissue. This means that your facial features, such as your jawline, chin, upper lip, and cheeks will be more defined and healthy.
