If you&#8217;re missing a tooth or two, or even an entire arch, your confidence was lost along with them. If you&#8217;re embarrassed by gaps in your smile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.saltlakecityperio.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> can boost your self-esteem. Here are just a few ways they can restore your confidence and change your outlook on life.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Natural-Looking Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental implant is unlike any other solution because it replaces both the root and the crown, creating a nearly perfect replica of your real tooth. An implant post is surgically placed into your jawbone to serve as a new root. It will be hidden below your gums to provide support for your custom-made restoration, which is attached using an abutment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your restoration is made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth to blend in with your smile. Only a trained dental professional will know it isn&#8217;t a real tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Never Worry About Slipping&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to worry about a partial or denture falling out when laughing, speaking, or eating. Dental implants are anchored in your jawbone to benefit from unmatched support and stability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teeth will stay firmly in place, so you&#8217;ll never have to worry about slipping or irritation. You&#8217;ll regain up to 70% of your biting force to enjoy the best thing besides your real teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take 10 Years Off Your Appearance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Researchers have found that replacing missing teeth can take 10 years off a person&#8217;s appearance. You can lose up to 25% of your jaw&#8217;s density within the first year of missing a tooth because it isn&#8217;t being stimulated by the root. Your jaw will continue to shrink over time, which can change the shape of your face and cause premature wrinkles or sagging skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a dental implant stimulating your jawbone, it will stay strong and healthy for a youthful appearance. Filling the gaps in your smile will instantly turn back the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long-Lasting Results for Peace of Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants have over a 95% success rate and are proven to last for decades with the correct aftercare, like brushing and flossing. Your dazzling new smile can last for a lifetime, so you&#8217;ll never think about your missing teeth again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Better Oral Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants stop many issues caused by tooth loss, like cavities, gum disease, and additional missing teeth. You will have better oral health, which will improve your overall well-being. You will look and feel your best knowing your mouth and body are healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are a smart investment for your oral health and quality of life. You can&#8217;t put a price on the benefits you&#8217;ll gain by choosing the most reliable method of treating tooth loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Rob Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.saltlakecityperio.com\/dr-rob-wood.html\">Dr. Wood<\/a> achieved his dental degree from the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry and underwent training in periodontics at the University of Texas.
