If you’re missing one or more permanent teeth, it can be hard to look and feel as youthful as you really are. That’s because when you have gaps in your arches, your face can begin to look older than it is. Your cheekbones may seem hollowed or sunken, and your eyes can look tired and withdrawn. Worse yet, your facial skin can even appear loose or saggy, all of which can contribute to making you look much older.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Here’s how restoring your smile with dental implants can help bring back your youthful appearance!
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are prosthetic teeth that are permanently attached to the jawbone. They look and feel just like natural teeth and don’t just restore the appearance of your smile, but they also bring back the function of your teeth, too.
Dental implants allow you to eat a variety of healthy foods, and because they’re permanent, don’t need to be replaced every five to ten years like other restorations do. Best of all, because they’re attached to your jaw, they provide the stimulation necessary to keep your other teeth in place!
How do Dental Implants Make You Look Younger?
In addition to closing unsightly gaps in your smile, dental implants make you look younger by supporting your jawbone and maintaining your facial structure. Not only will they provide proper stimulation to prevent further tooth loss, but they also allow important structural support for your cheekbones that could stop you from looking hollow or gaunt.
What are Some Other Benefits of Dental Implants?
Other youthful benefits of dental implants include:
- The ability to eat a full diet of nutritious foods.
- Improved self esteem
- The confidence to smile freely without being self-conscious
Remember, missing teeth can make you look and feel older than you really are, but with the help of dental implants you’ll have a beautiful, more youthful smile to share with the world!
