While the dental community considers these devices the best way to restore missing teeth, you may not know why these appliances are so astoundingly effective. Here\u2019s a quick overview of three reasons why dental implants are so incredible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Restore Almost All of the Patient\u2019s Chewing Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tooth loss can dramatically reduce a person\u2019s ability to thoroughly chew the wide variety of foods the human body needs to stay healthy. While traditional restorations like dentures can restore about 20% of someone\u2019s original chewing power, they often still have difficulty handling tough or crunchy foods like fresh meat, tasty nuts and seeds, and raw fruits and veggies. Fortunately, dental implants restore about 80% of the patient\u2019s chewing power, which can help them improve their nutrition and avoid indigestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Are Astoundingly Lifelike<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are designed to support dental restorations that look exactly like natural teeth, and casual observers are quite unlikely to be able to distinguish them from the rest of the patient\u2019s smile. This can help a person feel confident in their grin so they can show it off proudly at social events and in business situations, which can help them leave a favorable first impression that may lead to new personal or professional opportunities later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Are Remarkably Successful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants boast an impressive success rate of over 95% even ten years after being placed, and they can last several decades or even a lifetime if they receive excellent care. To make things even better, they only require the same oral hygiene regimen, regular dental visits, and common-sense care as natural teeth to stay healthy and strong. You can keep your restorations in great shape by brushing and flossing every day, seeing your dentist every six months, and refraining from bad habits like smoking and chewing on ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants may be the ideal solution for replacing your missing teeth. Consulting with your dentist can help you find the best way to restore your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Water\u2019s Edge Dental, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smiledaytona.com\/meet-dr-rolfes.html\">Dr. Mike Rolfes<\/a> treats patients in the Port Orange community with experience and expertise, providing comprehensive care all under one roof.
