3 Benefits Of Replacing Your Partial Dentures With Dental Implants
Posted on: 28 December 2017
Whether you just got your partial dentures or you've been living with them for years, it's time to consider replacing them with dental implants. Here are a few ways getting dental implants can improve your quality of life:
You'll Improve Your Frame of Mind
Chances are that with missing teeth, you don't like to smile very often – especially at strangers. It can make you feel vulnerable to the world, judged even. Wearing your partial dentures surely makes you feel more confident when it comes to smiling and having a good time in public, but there is always a chance they could fall out. Or, you may be worried about discoloration, and the fact that those dentures don't match your natural teeth color.
With dental implants in place, you don't have to worry about any teeth falling out. Your implants will stay in place, just like your real teeth do, and your dentist will ensure the closest color match possible, when fitting your with your implants. You can always whiten them, along with your natural teeth, as time goes on, too. So, you can smile more often, and gain all the benefits that daily smiling has to offer, like reduced stress and an improved frame of mind overall.
You'll Appreciate Conversations More
When wearing partial implants, you and others might notice that your speech isn't the same as it used to be. Because of slipping or an imperfect fit, you may slur certain letters, or sound like you aren't pronouncing words correctly. Once your dental implants are in place, they'll work just like your natural teeth do, so your speech can be as impeccable as it once was. This should make having conversations with others more enjoyable and help improve your self-esteem, so it's easier and more comfortable to meet new people in public, social settings.
You'll Enjoy a Wider Variety of Cuisine
Even with heavy duty dental glue, you've probably experienced your share of dining fails, thanks to dentures that fall out or simply aren't strong enough to properly bite into and chew the cuisine you're trying to eat. After getting dental implants, you should be able to eat just about anything you want. They'll stay in place, when you want to enjoy a thick juicy steak, and they won't break when you're snacking on chips and salsa or nuts and seeds.
These are just a few of the benefits that you can expect to enjoy, after getting your new dental implants. Talk with a specialist today, to see what more your implants can do for you.
