Why You Should Consider Dental Implants In Lake Forest
Even a subtle change in your smile helps you project an image of self-confidence and high personal esteem. When you feel good about yourself, it shows in your appearance and smile.
Benefits of Dental Implants with Improved Quality of Life
Improved appearance – Dental Implants look and feel like your own teeth. And because they are designed to fuse with the jawbone, they can last a lifetime.
Improved speech – With poor-fitting dentures, the dentures can slip within the mouth causing mumbling, slurred speech or clicking noises. The facial muscles become tense in an attempt to hold the teeth in place. Dental Implants allow you to speak without the worry that your teeth might slip.
Improved comfort – Because they become part of you, Implants eliminate the discomfort experienced with removable dentures.
Easier eating – Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult. Dental Implants function like your natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.
Improved self-esteem – Dental Implants can give you back your smile, and help you feel better about yourself.
Improved oral health – Dental Implants don’t require reducing other teeth, as a tooth-supported bridge does. Because nearby teeth are not altered to support the Implant, more of your own teeth are left intact, improving your long-term oral health. Individual Implants also allow easier access between teeth, improving oral hygiene.
Durability – Dental Implants from Lake Forest Dental are very durable and will last many years. With good care, many Implants last a lifetime.
Convenience – Removable dentures are just that; removable. Our dentists in lake forest can provide you with Dental Implants that eliminate the embarrassing inconvenience of removing your dentures, as well as the need for messy adhesives to keep your dentures in place.
Life Changing – Dental Implants can restore you to a more active lifestyle and provide more self confidence in your job, your social life and your personal relationships.

What Are the Associated Risks with Dental Implants?
The greatest risk following the surgical procedures is that the implant will fail. For implants placed within the bone, most failures occur within the first year and then occur at a rate of less than 1% per year thereafter. Recent research has indicated that tobacco use by the patient and use of a single-stage implant procedure are two risk factors that increase failure rate. Rest assured that we give the residents of Lake Forest and beyond the best possible care and will work with you to reduce possible risks of dental implants.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants VS Traditional Treatments
They can preserve the bone, maintaining the integrity of the facial structure. When you lose an entire tooth – crown and root – shrinkage of the jawbone may cause your face to look older. Dental implants can stop this process. A traditional denture or bridge doesn’t.
Maintained natural teeth:
No preparation of adjacent teeth is required. With traditional practices, two teeth adjacent to a missing tooth must be ground down to anchor a bridge. Dental implants often eliminate the need to modify healthy teeth.
Permanent solution:
There are no loose parts to worry about. The implant is stable and comfortable.
No adjustment is needed after installation. Normally, it will serve its owner for life.

They eliminate the pain of ill-fitting dentures as well as eliminate the numerous embarrassing inconveniences of removable partial and full dentures. You will eliminate the use of gooey denture adhesives that must be re-applied throughout the day. You will no longer need to cover your mouth when you laugh or smile, for fear that your teeth will pop out or fall down.
Dental implants restore chewing efficiency comparable to that of natural teeth. Therefore, patients with dental implants can eat a wide range of food items with less difficulty, and experience less impact on daily life than patients with dentures. In addition, a full upper denture covers the palate of the mouth and reduces the ability to taste foods. With dental implants, you can have the palate removed from your upper denture so you can taste and enjoy your food.
