When you talk about the benefits you can expect from dental implants with our Santa Rosa, CA team, the common topics will definitely include the way your smile looks, how it functions, and how long the implants will last (a very long time). One thing that you might not see coming that we will probably also discuss with you is your dental hygiene. Did you know that by selecting implants and restorations to replace your roots and the crowns of your teeth, you’re helping yourself achieve easier and more effective preventive care? How about that!
You Don’t Have Food “Traps” In Your Smile Anymore
Our dental implant team would like for you to spend a moment reflecting on the way that the opening or openings in your smile at the moment tend to attract (and hold onto) food. It’s not pleasant. It means more cleansing of the areas, which isn’t something you had to think about before tooth loss. You used to brush and floss and that was it. Remember: When you’ve got an implant and tooth in that space, things will go back to being easy again.
There’s No Constant Upset During Brushing Or Flossing
When you’re missing a tooth and you brush your teeth or you floss your teeth, you are constantly reminded about your tooth loss. The opening may be something you don’t really enjoy cleaning. It might remind you of how you lost the tooth or teeth in the first place, which might not be so pleasant. You may simply dislike being reminded that you don’t have your complete smile anymore! Whatever the case, if you experience negative emotions as you perform your dental hygiene, you won’t have to feel this way once you receive a dental implant and restoration. Instead, you will quickly start to feel like you have your smile back and can stop thinking about the tooth loss.
You Don’t Have To Worry About Your Hygiene So Much
We know that your dental hygiene is something that you consider on a daily basis when you have a complete smile in place. However, when even a single tooth goes missing, things can quickly change. You may become a little overly concerned about brushing or flossing, so nobody sees stuck food. You may feel embarrassed about things that you wouldn’t usually think about, such as brushing after lunch in the workplace. You can stop worrying about anything related to hygiene and tooth loss when you replace missing teeth with dental implants, simple as that.
