Can Dental Implants Improve Your Overall Health?

That missing tooth means more gaps in your smile that you would prefer not to have. Replacing a tooth is not all about vanity, it is so much more. As much as your facial features may be enhanced it also improves your overall health. The boost in your smile is a bonus.

When you lose a tooth the surrounding teeth tends to shift to close the gaps. The teeth in your other jaw also begin moving. As you chew with missing teeth the biting force is unevenly distributed, this can actually lead to more loss of teeth. It can also compromise nutritional status that can impact your overall health. Studies in recent years have shown a link that exists between healthy teeth and overall health.

What about your health as you get older? Can you still get dental implants? Yes, it can not only improve your overall health you can also enjoy a more productive life.

Dental implants will improve your health by stimulating the jawbone. The implants are anchored to the bone so it pressed onto it. When you lose your natural teeth the jawbone can start to sag, however, implants continue to maintain the firmness of the bone. A robust jawbone will greatly reduce the risk of fractures as you grow older.

Dentures, on the other hand, may lead to poor nutrition. It is hard to chew certain types of food including raw vegetables. It can also make mealtime less enjoyable for you.
