If you’ve just completed the dental implant process, you’ll have plenty of things to be grateful for this Thanksgiving! Thanks to their unique design, these advanced tooth replacements offer unique benefits that make it easy to smile with confidence. When you sit down for your traditional family meal, you won’t be thinking about your missing teeth and the challenges they can create – you’ll be able to be fully present in the moment, enjoying good food and good company.
Want a sneak peek of the benefits to come? Here are four specific ways dental implants can improve your Thanksgiving experience!
#1. Eat More Foods
As the strongest and most durable tooth-replacement option to-date, dental implants enable you to eat more foods. In fact, you’ll be able to pile all of your Thanksgiving favorites onto your plate without worries! Compared to traditional restorations, dental implants restore significantly more bite power and can withstand anything that natural teeth can.
#2. Get More Out of Your Meals
Missing teeth make it difficult to chew properly, which can actually have a negative impact on your ability to absorb nutrients from your food. You see, chewing helps mix saliva into your food, which enables your digestive system to break down the nutrients inside. With dental implants empowering your bites, you’ll be able to enjoy the full benefits of a hearty Thanksgiving meal.
#3. Say “Goodbye” to Speech Difficulties
When your family and friends are gathered around the dinner table, there’s bound to be some good conversation! But if you’re missing certain teeth, it can be hard to keep up. Many sounds in English – like “s,” “th,” and “z” sounds – are made by pressing your tongue against the back of your teeth. Once the gaps are filled with dental implants, you can say “goodbye” to speech difficulties and “hello” to clear enunciation!
#4. Enjoy a Picture-Perfect Smile
Finally, dental implants seamlessly restore your smile, providing you with natural-looking pearly whites that will be stunning in all of your Thanksgiving photos. Truly, after completing dental implant treatment, it will be like you never lost any of your teeth in the first place!
