Why You Should Get Dental Implants To Restore Your Smile

As a professional dental practice in Marylebone, we focus on improving the health and appearance of our patients’ smiles – whether it’s through restorative, every day or cosmetic procedures. Our smiles are often the first thing others notice about our appearance, so keeping yours bright, healthy and happy is essential. Today, our dental practice is sharing reasons why you should consider one of our popular solutions for tooth loss – dental implants. These false teeth help to restore your smile, both in how it looks and how it functions.

1. White, bright and shining new teeth

Our patients here in Marylebone love how dental implants can give them a whiter and brighter smile. With missing teeth, people may focus on the gaps rather than your smile as a whole. Restoring these lost teeth – and matching them to the shade of your smile – can give you a brighter boost.

2. No dietary restrictions

When dealing with tooth loss, many people are choosy about what they eat. Certain foods can get stuck in the gaps between the teeth, or you may be missing several in one place – which affects how you can crunch or chew. By replacing lost teeth with dental implants, you’ll be able to resume a normal diet – though there may still be foods to be mindful of, such as popcorn kernels, which can damage even natural teeth.

3. Anti-ageing benefits

Many of our Marylebone patients are surprised to hear that tooth implants can actually take years off your appearance. That’s because missing teeth can affect the structure of the mouth, causing the skin around the lips to pucker or sag and adding years to the clock. Tooth implants help to stretch that skin back to its normal position, which can achieve a more youthful appearance.

4. A happy, healthy smile

Our health is something we should all value a little more. And that’s certainly true in the case of our oral health. Taking care of our smile can prevent further tooth loss (for instance, through periodontitis and gum disease) and ensure natural teeth don’t fall prey to decay, abscess and infection. Even more important, replacing those gaps can mean your oral health improves over time, as food and bacteria won’t build up in between. It also prevents your teeth from ‘spreading out’ in the mouth to fill those spaces.
