It is no wonder a smile is the universal sign of health and a social magnet, no matter the culture or the language. The human eye can see a smile from about fifty steps away. By smiling, we signal to the world that we are open to communication and have peaceful intentions. It positively affects our personal image, how others perceive us, and how they feel in our company. Laughing is contagious, and the mere sight of a smile activates the vegetative nervous system. When we see a happy face, we start smiling ourselves, triggering the release of endorphins into the brain and improving our mood. What’s more, humor fosters creative thinking and a solution-based mindset. What’s not to love about a healthy and dazzling smile?

Dental implants provide patients with the convenience of naturally-looking prosthetics. The beauty of having implants inserted successfully into your jawbone is that they can last a lifetime if proper oral care is applied, which includes daily brushing and flossing as well as regular dentist visits. Although the list goes on and on, here are the top benefits of dental implants:
Healthy mouth
The negative side effects of tooth extraction are unfavorable changes in the oral cavity, such as loss of bone tissue or teeth migration. Replacing missing teeth has many health benefits, not only relating to your oral health. Dental implants eliminate the risk of periodontal disease caused by bacteria, chronic infection, and inflammatory disease. When left untreated, gum disease can lead to other issues, such as diabetes or cardiac conditions.
Aesthetics
The primary advantage of dental implants is that they preserve bone and facial features, which translates into our aesthetics. If you are missing multiple teeth, you lose the ability to stimulate your jawbones. Our body is brilliant and “senses” that the jaw no longer needs to support the teeth and can relax. This, in turn, causes a rapid deterioration of the facial structure. Your mouth becomes narrow, and the section between your nose and chin shortens, which results in facial distortion and mimics wrinkles. The entire process makes you look older than you really are. Fortunately, all of this can be eliminated by undergoing treatment with dental implants.
Better Quality of Life
Dental implants will help you regain your natural smile, providing much more comfort and confidence during your day-to-day activities, such as smiling, talking, or eating your favorite meals. When you decide to replace your dentures with crowns based on implants, your quality of life will improve dramatically. You will once again enjoy eating all kinds of foods without any problems, smile confidently and broadly, and talk for hours without fear of your dentures accidentally falling out of your mouth. You will say goodbye to the adhesives that hold your dentures in place and resign from their burdensome continuous removal.
Save Time
If you are afraid of having to schedule multiple appointments with your dentist before getting your dental implants, you are wrong. Modern dental implants are often placed in one visit! It is the quick and best way to replace missing or damaged teeth with new, perfect restorations on implants. When choosing dental implants, you can count on a significant improvement in chewing ability, tooth stability, and overall comfort. Your dental implants can be a lifetime investment in your health.
Self-esteem and confidence
Dental implants will help you feel better in all aspects of your life. Dental implants at Nova Dental let you eat various types of foods, laugh freely, and smile without any pain and fear that someone will notice your missing teeth or that your dentures might slip out of your mouth. Your dental implants will look, feel, and behave like real teeth without placing any restrictions or limitations on your daily activities. Long gone are the days of having to remove your dentures in order to sleep or perform your oral hygiene routine. And the bonus? Dental implants are incredibly durable!
Look & Feel Natural
Dental implants are very similar to your real teeth. Therefore, when we replace the entire tooth, including the root, no one will notice any changes. Everything in your mouth will look natural, which is what most patients (and dentists!) want to achieve.
No Interference with Natural Teeth
It is not uncommon that replacing teeth with traditional bridges involves the need to grind adjacent teeth. It is required so that the bridge can be cemented in place. Unfortunately, however, the lost natural tooth structure can never be replaced. Dentures also often have hooks that can interfere with your teeth, putting pressure on them as the metal structure moves back and forth during ordinary jaw movements. It may cause damage to the gums and painful sores. Dental implants provide no such problems in your mouth.
Caring for your dental implants is no different than the recommended oral hygiene practices. Knowing how to do so will extend their lifespan significantly. The most important thing is oral hygiene, which includes a thorough brushing and flossing at least twice a day or after every meal, spending at least 30 seconds on each area of your mouth. We also recommend using an appropriate, soft toothbrush, such as sonic, with replaceable heads and low-abrasion toothpaste. When it comes to cleaning hard-to-reach places, consider getting a dental irrigator.
