Has tooth loss made you self-conscious? Are you nervous about going out in public? Do you find yourself talking less and less when you are spending time with others? Whether you’re talking with clients about business or just relaxing with friends, you want to feel confident in your appearance. If gaps in your smile have made chewing, talking, and smiling a challenge, it’s time to do something about it. Restore your smile with the help of our St. Louis, MO, dentist Dr. William Whitson and dental implants.
Preserve Your Facial Structure and Jawbone
You might think of your teeth as individual entities, but in fact, they are part of a larger system. The minute you lose a tooth, the system no longer functions the same way. Because of this, changes occur to your bite, jaw, and facial appearance. Your jawbone begins to recede, causing wrinkles to develop and the corners of your mouth to droop. You may also notice that your cheeks begin to cave in.
However, dental implants can change all that. Just by inserting the dental implant into the jawbone and attaching an artificial tooth, your cheeks can appear fuller and healthier. The implant is given months to fuse with the surrounding bones and tissue to become a sturdy foundation and structure for your artificial tooth. Since it’s inserted into the jawbone, this implant preserves your facial structure and also prevents bone loss.
Restore Full Function into Your Smile
Tooth loss alone can cause anyone to feel self-conscious. Couple that with these compromising facial changes and going out in public is the last thing you want to do. Even eating can be a challenge, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies and a host of other dietary issues. But if we deem you a perfect candidate for dental implants, then you can enjoy going out and socializing again without worrying that you aren’t looking your best. Not to mention the fact that dental implants are just as strong as natural teeth, which means you can chow down without any concerns.
