Are you the type of person that loves a good, thick, hearty steak off the grill? Is biting into a crisp, juicy apple your idea of nature’s perfect snack? Is summer simply not summer without plenty of sweet, fresh, corn-on-the-cob from the local farm stand? Well, when you have missing teeth, bridges, or traditional dentures, you can say goodbye to all of these things, or risk the embarrassment of slippage and damage to your dental prosthetics. Dental implants, however, can stand up to all of these foods, so you can eat whatever you want, just as if you had a mouth full of natural teeth.
Facial collapse is an offshoot condition of tooth loss where the body stops sending minerals and nutrients to part of your jawbone that is missing tooth roots. This will eventually lead to a decrease in jawbone density, and an aged look to your appearance that many find disconcerting. You see, as bone density lessens, your cheeks and face will start to sink in. If maintaining a youthful vibrancy in the way you look, or simply aging gracefully is your goal, dental implants can offer you satisfying results. Not only will you have a mouth full of functioning teeth, but you will not have to bear appearance-altering facial collapse.
