It’s very easy to begin overthinking your decision when you’re ready to replace missing teeth and you think that dental implants sound like a good idea. You know that you have access to them but then you wonder if you should just stick with traditional prosthetics. You learn more and more until you’re up to your ears in implant knowledge that may be helpful … or may be causing your head to spin! For an easier approach, take time with our Conroe, TX team as we simplify the details to remind you of important goals you may need to revisit!
#1: Once You’ve Got Them, You’re Done!
That’s it! Once those dental implants are in place, you’re done with replacing your roots. You’re not looking forward to a lifetime of repairs or replacements or worries about dealing with support for your restorations. You’ve just replaced the natural roots you once had before tooth loss with artificial, biocompatible implants that give you all of the benefits you don’t want to lose (like jawbone stimulation and protection). Easy!
#2: Your Shopping List May Have Gotten Smaller
Are you a new dental implant wearer who recently switched over from traditional prosthetics? If so, then your shopping list likely just got smaller in a very big way and a smaller, everyday sort of way, too. First, whether you were wearing a bridge, denture, or partial with traditional support, you knew that you were going to have to replace that prosthetic every now and then (or deal with repairs). You may have realized, as well, that due to potential jaw tissue loss and shrinkage, you would deal with prosthetics that would cease fitting correctly, which would also lead to the need for replacements. However, now, you don’t have to worry about such concerns! As for the everyday, if you were purchasing adhesive or anything else associated with providing your prosthetics extra support, you can remove them from your list!
#3: Your Smile Is … Yours
While many people adapt quite well to prosthetics like traditional bridges and dentures, there are also patients who always miss their natural smiles. They are happy to have complete, functional grins but they wish they could get back to a smile that feels and looks like their own. This is very easy to accomplish with dental implants and restorations. There’s no feeling of movement or slipping, the finish is extremely natural-looking, and you can just feel like you have your own grin back.
