They are inserted directly into the jawbone and can last a lifetime as long as you take good care of them. Dental implants offer health benefits to those who get them, but that isn\u2019t where the perks end. Read on to learn about three of the cosmetic benefits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kernersvilledentist.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefit #1: Maintain Facial Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you lose a tooth or have it pulled, the jawbone in that area no longer receives the stimulation it needs to remain healthy. This causes it to begin eroding. In fact, patients experience a 25% decrease in the width of the bone within the first year after losing a tooth. This bone loss causes the shape of one\u2019s face to change as well and can leave it looking saggy or lopsided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, dental implants can help by filling in the space where the missing tooth used to be. Once inserted into the jawbone, the implants will fuse with it through a process called osseointegration over the next four to six months. This allows them to provide the stimulation your jawbone needs and also preserves your facial structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefit #2: Prevent Adjacent Teeth from Shifting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Facial sagging and jawbone deterioration aren\u2019t the only things that you have to worry about when you lose teeth. To fill in the gaps, the adjacent teeth will begin to shift. This can cause them to look crooked and gapped. Not only will this make you look older than you actually are, but it will also weaken the teeth over time, which may eventually lead to them falling out or the need to have them pulled. Getting dental implants as soon as possible will keep your remaining teeth where they belong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefit #3: A Fuller, Healthier Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having gaps in your smile can make you feel insecure. It may also make it more difficult for you to come across as capable and confident during situations like job interviews and first dates. Dental implants can help by giving you a complete smile once more. This will make it easier for you to feel comfortable and confident in your smile regardless of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though missing a tooth may not seem like that big of a deal, it\u2019s important to have it replaced as soon as possible. Not only will this help prevent oral health issues, but there are also several cosmetic benefits of dental implants that will make you love your beautiful beam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you missing one or more of your pearly whites?
