You may know that dental implants involve implantation of a fake tooth in the jaw for medical or aesthetic purposes. The process involves fusing the jaw with a tooth made from titanium. There are numerous benefits that are involved with getting implants. The aim of implants is to replace one or more lost teeth in the jaw. Implants can help prevent bone loss. This comes about after you have lost several teeth which lowers the mass of your jaw. With time, this alters your facial structure. This same bone loss can lead to exposed nerves and tissues. This inevitably leads to pain, discomfort, sagging jaws and swelling. Most people are not aware that their jaw bone is changing after they have lost a couple of teeth. Implants prevent this, and thus help in maintaining your jaw mass and facial structure. Most implants are made from natural materials and are meant to mimic real teeth. This gives the patient a natural feeling, and most of them even forget that they are wearing implants. Long term dental loss may lead to facial disintegration. This leads to a caved-in look. Implants help prevent this, thus helping the patient remain younger looking, for longer.

When a person loses their teeth, speaking clearly becomes a challenge. Implants from a full mouth reconstruction give the patient the confidence to be able to speak clearly and hold a lively conversation. Loss of teeth may lead to increased sensitivity in the area. This makes eating and drinking difficult. However, implants are able to increase a patients comfort. Implants also give a patient a confidence boost. Where he/she may not have been able to smile confidently, now he/she can. Generally, the quality of their lives is improved. These are but a few of the benefits that a patient can get from getting implant surgery.
