You don’t have to spend another summer feeling embarrassed about your missing teeth. Now is the perfect time to invest in dental implants. As the only treatment to mimic both the tooth root and the crown, you’ll benefit from a solution that looks and feels natural. Although you have all year to replace your lost teeth, summer gives you more time for dental appointments and your recovery. If you have PTO saved, here’s why you should use the time to get started with dental implants.
Rebuild Your Tooth from the Root Up
Traditional treatments for missing teeth only replace the crowns above the gum surface; therefore, they’ll always have their limitations. A dental implant differs because it replaces both the tooth root and the crown. A titanium implant post is surgically placed into your jaw to serve as a new root. This will stimulate your jawbone, preserving its density. Your jaw will fuse to the post through a process called osseointegration, providing unmatched support for your personalized restoration. Your new tooth will be carefully crafted to match the appearance of your natural teeth. It will blend in seamlessly, so no one will know it is not real.
Plenty of Time to Recover
The process of treating a lost tooth with a dental implant requires multiple appointments that can take several months. After any preparatory procedures, your first step to a complete smile is your placement surgery. You can expect your mouth to be tender for a few days. You’ll also be given strict aftercare instructions during your recovery. You can use your PTO to take off from work to give your body time to heal.
Boost Your Confidence
You won’t think twice before showing off your pearly whites. Your implant post will be hidden below your gums and your restoration will look just like a real tooth. Only a trained dental professional will know it’s not natural. You can smile confidently and look years younger. Researchers have found that treating tooth loss can take 10 years off a person’s appearance. You can look your best by choosing the most reliable method for treating lost teeth.
Don’t put off replacing your missing teeth any longer. Make this summer memorable by investing in your dental health and quality of life. Schedule your consultation to see if dental implants are right for you.
