The Benefits Of A Complete Smile

February 11, 2017Dr. Andre HughesInvisalign

Complete smile and dental careIf you’ve lost a tooth and are worried that your teeth may become misaligned as a result, it may be time to start looking into viable tooth replacement options. While other patients may opt for dentures or no treatment at all, not all treatments can prevent your teeth from shifting out of place.

At  we recommend dental implants as a possible tooth replacement option, as there are many benefits to these permanent artificial teeth. But what sets them a part from other artificial teeth is their ability to prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting. Ensuring that your teeth remain straight after losing a tooth is essential to keeping a good oral health regimen. We’ve listed the top seven reasons why a straight and complete smile can help your overall well-being.

Better Speaking And Eating

When there’s a hole in your smile, speaking and eating can be awkward. Some patients experienced whistling between their teeth while talking, and the distribution of pressure when biting down on food can change, making it more difficult to chew. By inserting a dental implant, you can return your oral health to a more balanced state.

Better Brushing And Flossing

Having a complete and straight smile also makes it easier to brush and floss. If you have misaligned or crooked teeth, it can be difficult to effectively clean those tight spaces around overlapping teeth. A dental implant also ensures that you can effectively clean the area around it as well.

Less Stress On The Jaw

Similar to better speaking and eating, filling the gap in your smile with a dental implant will put much less stress on your jawbone. The disproportion of the pressure when you bite could cause stress and headaches, but a dental implant fills the space and repairs that.

Improved Oral Health

Dental implants are fused to the jawbone through a process known as osseointegration. This revitalizes the jawbone, strengthening it and reducing your chances of infection. With better teeth comes better oral care, which can lead to a healthy body as well.

Better Oral Health = Better Bodily Health

Studies have shown that the mouth is the gateway and can often reflect the state of your bodily health as well. By improving the state of your oral health with a dental implant, you can take better care of your body at the same time. It reduces your chance of bacterial infections which has been found to be responsible in a number of cardiovascular and respiratory problems in some patients.

Increase In Confidence

Appearance-wise, a dental implant can only improve your smile. A complete smile can give you that boost in confidence that you need to look and feel successful. Some studies showed that test subjects were more drawn to people with straight and complete smiles and would trust them more, based on appearance alone.

Less Visits To The Dentist

Overall, having and maintaining good oral health can lead to less dental visits and is more cost-effective. Unlike other treatments for missing teeth, like dentures or dental bridges, dental implants don’t need to be replaced every few years as long as they’re given the proper care and maintenance.
