Cosmetic Dentistry Improvements with Dental Implants

The appearance of a smile is greatly affected by the condition of the teeth. Damage or imperfections on the teeth can instantly have a negative effect on how the smile looks like. This effect is multiplied if the teeth concerned are the ones that can readily be seen when the mouth is opened, or when a person smiles. While teeth imperfections can be noticeable, the problem of tooth loss has an even bigger impact on the appearance of a smile. Regardless of how healthy the other teeth look like, the entire smile will look extremely unattractive with even one missing tooth. That single lost tooth will leave a gaping hole in the smile and can lead to the other teeth shifting in an unappealing manner if the problem is not resolved soon after the tooth loss.

Solving the problem of tooth loss improves not only the appearance of the smile, but resolves issues in the smile’s function as well. Missing teeth solutions are necessary regardless of the number of teeth involved, to prevent the development of complications, which are costlier and more difficult to deal with. When teeth are lost, the resulting space immediately makes the smile look highly unattractive; this space will also cause the rest of the surrounding teeth to shift in an unnatural manner. The use of dentures to replace missing teeth may cause more problems with long-term use, as removable dentures will eventually lose their comfortable fit and become embarrassingly loose. Dental implants offer a longer-lasting, more natural-looking solution to missing teeth problems.

Cosmetic dentistry treatments are not only for improving the appearance of existing teeth – they also include the treatments that solve tooth loss, such as a dental implant treatment. This is because a missing teeth solution is one of the steps towards creating the most attractive smile for a person. Dental implants offer permanent solutions to missing teeth, bringing improvements to the smile’s appearance and function at the same time. The implants are placed directly onto the jawbone to provide a stable anchor where teeth restorations (such as dental crowns or a dental bridge) can be attached to. Teeth restorations attached to dental implants result to a more natural-looking smile compared to that brought by dentures, which will eventually become loose inside the mouth due to its removable nature. Patients who have dental implants will have the confidence of having a secure, healthy, and natural-looking smile even after suffering from tooth loss problems.
