Did You Know Dental Implants Can Turn Back the Hands of Time?
Posted on 9/6/2021 by Brandon Cooley
Dental implants are a new and improved way for many people to cope with missing teeth. In the past, bridges and dentures were the only solution to rectify missing teeth, but now dental implants are readily available.
Dental implants are replacement teeth. We can replace a single missing tooth up to a full arch of 4 or more prosthetic teeth fixed together using dental implants. Dental implants are metal fixtures that are surgically placed into your jawbone. The metal fixture anchors into your jawbone to support a prosthetic tooth. The benefit of these metal fixtures is that artificial teeth can be mounted on top of them. It may take 4-6 weeks for the implant to bond to your jawbone. After that time, the new tooth can be attached to the implant.
Why Implants Make You Appear Younger
Many people would agree that if you look at someone and they are missing several teeth, it affects your perception of their age. One would have to agree that a person with a full set of teeth and a bright white smile appears younger. With the advent of dental implants, we can turn back the hands of time and help you to appear as young as you feel.
Using dental implants, a patient can have a complete smile. This smile, which promotes confidence in the patient and is aesthetically pleasing to look at, will help you make a great first impression. Whether you need to impress someone at a job interview or just want to appear younger at your next class reunion, dental implants may be a viable solution for you.
