We will also answer any questions you have about implants or other dental treatments in jargon-free, down-to-earth language.
So, what are some of the advantages of having dental implants Bondi Junction? Here, we list our top 5!
Comfortable
Few people link the idea of having dental implants with being comfortable.
However, once they have been fitted and the gums have healed, you may actually forget which one of your teeth are held in place by an implant! Implants do not rub; therefore, you will not have discomfort on your gums when you eat food due to friction. Also, there will be no deferred pressure from the fitting onto surrounding teeth, thus making the entire wearing process more comfortable.
Affordable
Once again, you may not consider oral implants to be affordable in the short term.
In the long term, however, they may actually save you money; since lost teeth can cause issues with your oral hygiene, oral implants can prevent complications with cavities and gum disease. And, as they promote bone regrowth, they can also save you a financial bundle when it comes to orthodontics. Remember, missing teeth can cause the surrounding gum to shrink, creating misalignment problems for any nearby remaining teeth.
Cosmetic
Of course, the main benefit of implants is their cosmetic value. They can close gaps, be any shade of white you wish and look completely natural, allowing you to feel positive about your grin. We often use oral implants as part of our dental makeovers, as they can be used to support anything from a single tooth up to a complete set of dentures.
Improved oral health
Having missing teeth can cause you to accumulate plaque in hidden parts of your mouth. In turn, this can lead to an increase in cavities, decay and a heightened chance of you developing gum disease. By having permanent attachments fitted into the gaps in your teeth, you prevent hidden pockets of plaque from developing thus improving your overall dental health.
Improved diet
Last, but certainly not least, when you have oral implants fitted, you could notice an improvement in your diet. Why? Because implants are sturdy and this allows you to eat harder foods, like nuts, fruits and vegetables without worrying about them moving. As a result, your diet and your overall health could see improvement too.
