Better Appearance
Implant-supported dentures look and feel like natural teeth. You’ll be able to appreciate your beautiful healthy smile the next time you brush your teeth or take your next selfie. Make sure you practice good oral hygiene and continue seeing our dentists every 6 months for preventive care.
Better Oral Health
Once your body senses you’ve lost a tooth, it’ll begin to absorb the minerals in your jawbone to use elsewhere. Over time, jawbone deterioration can lead to facial collapse.
Not only does facial collapse make you look older than your actual age, but it can make it harder for your dentures to rest comfortably on your gums. Dental implants can prevent further bone loss from happening. To learn more about avoiding facial collapse, check out our blog post on how to look younger with dental implants.
