How Dental Implants Can Boost Your Confidence

September 3, 2022

Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about you—so you should want your pearly whites to look their absolute best! But if you have lost teeth and a compromised smile, then you’ve probably suffered a major blow to your self-esteem. Fortunately, dental implants can restore those missing teeth and in turn, your diminished confidence. Here are a few ways that implants will improve your smile alongside your mental health.

1. They’re Durable & Natural-Looking

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth for many different reasons, but primarily, their durability coupled with their natural-looking appearance. The post of an implant is made of medical-grade titanium that fuses with your jawbone, and the upper portion (crown) is essentially a vastly upgraded copy of your original tooth. Knowing that your dental solution is custom-made for you with some of the best available materials should have you feeling pretty comfortable and confident.

2. You’ll Look & Feel Younger

One of the biggest problems with missing teeth is that it almost always leads to additional missing teeth, which in turn can cause jawbone deterioration and facial collapse. This can result in you looking and feeling much older in the face; sunken cheekbones and wrinkled lips will do this! Fortunately, dental implants can directly address this by filling out those empty sockets once more and encouraging the bone to remain healthy and robust.

3. Eating Is Vastly Easier

Everybody loves to eat—but eating isn’t easy if you’re missing teeth! It might also discourage you from eating your favorite foods or sticking to a healthy diet. Thankfully, dental implants aren’t accompanied by any dietary restrictions whatsoever, meaning that all of your favorites are back on the menu. In fact, dental implants can restore up to 80% of your original chewing power. You can confidently bite and chew anything that your natural teeth would be able to handle—and you’ll smile while doing so!

4. Your Smile Is Set Up for the Future

Dental implants are built to last—the durable materials combined with the method in which they’re placed allows for a solution that can endure for decades under the right conditions. While other solutions like dentures or bridges don’t often last beyond 5 or 10 years, dental implants can set your smile up for decades if you’re committed to taking care of them. Having a dazzling and healthy smile for the foreseeable future will work wonders for your self-esteem.

Having missing teeth won’t just affect your oral health—it’ll put a damper on your confidence, too! Fortunately, dental implants can effectively get your smile and attitude back on track.
