If you were to lose your teeth, the number one complaint would likely be the aesthetic problems. Your smile would not look right, and people would probably be staring at you and wondering why you hadn’t made the effort to fix your smile. Though there are many functional reasons for restoring missing teeth (inability to eat and speak correctly) we smile every day more than we realize. Once those beautiful teeth are gone, most people are surprised by how naked their mouth feels. So, while dental implants are generally considered to be under the realm of restorative dentistry, your Skokie cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent Engelberg, would like to point out the cosmetic advantages of this method of replacing teeth that are no longer there.
Dental Implants
Dental implants were designed to mimic the structure of teeth’s roots. Traditional dentures have had their place in dentistry, but the advent of dental implants answers to the deficiencies of dentures. Below the gumline of our teeth lies root structures that are responsible for a big portion of your dental health. When the entire anatomy of your teeth is healthy, your body will send vitamins and minerals to that part of the jawbone, keeping your density healthy and full. Dental implants are made from bio-compatible titanium posts that function as viable root-replacements. These posts are inserted through your gum tissue and into your jawbone to provide a secure point of attachment for attractive tooth-like prosthetics.
Dental Implants: A Realistic Looking Smile
The dental crowns that are attached to your titanium implants will be approved by you. Material, shape, and color can be customized for your desires. If your implants are only single or partial, the prosthetics can flawlessly match existing teeth. Unlike dentures, dental implant restorations allow people to eat whatever they want. Dentures tend to slip with certain foods, and keeping an empty space with no tooth can make chewing certain consumables totally uncomfortable. Dental implants provide more sensation and chewing satisfaction because they are very close in structure to natural teeth. They can be brushed with regular toothpaste. And you can rest assured that those nutrients that your body stopped sending will start going to the right place in your jaw again.
