When you lose your teeth, life as you know it with your complete smile suddenly changes. Over time, if you don’t replace missing teeth immediately, there are some things that go missing in addition to your teeth that you may completely forget about. The good news? Once you follow through on replacing those teeth with dental implants and restorations with our Rohnert Park, CA team, you will immediately have everything back that you lost! Curious about some of the improvements you might not even realize are in store for you? Let’s discuss them!
Teeth Fitting Together Correctly
Before you lost your teeth, your top and bottom arches of teeth fit together in a very particular way. By losing even one tooth, this bite balance can change, leaving you feeling different at rest. This can also make it more difficult to chew your food, to articulate your speech, and to say certain letters as you talk. It can become uncomfortable, can stress your jaw joints (if you compensate by shifting your mouth into new, foreign positions), and can feel exhausting emotionally. Fortunately, when you replace missing teeth with our team, the dental implants and restorations you choose will fill those spaces with precision, so teeth fit together properly and comfortably once more.
Happily Brushing And Flossing
Have you felt somewhat strange, upset, uncomfortable, or sad every time you brush and floss since you lost your teeth? Perhaps practicing dental hygiene on your remaining teeth is much more of an emotional chore than it used to be, since each session (which happens twice daily) is a reminder that you don’t have a complete smile. Remember that when you visit our team to receive dental implants and restorations, you’ll have a full smile again. As a result, not only will hygiene become much easier to accomplish, thanks to having a full grin of teeth again but it will also become easier emotionally, as you can stop worrying and simply comfortably make your way through twice-daily care!
One Step For Everything
We know that you may get into a rhythm with life once you deal with tooth loss. However, once you have your teeth back with the help of dental implants, you will realize that without a complete smile, it was taking multiple steps to accomplish something that usually takes only one! For instance, with a full smile, you just speak. With missing teeth, you may cover your mouth to hide the openings in front of others and then speak. With a full smile, you eat. With missing teeth, you figure out what you can comfortably eat, you may cover your mouth if others are around, you eat, you then often have to excuse yourself to remove food trapped in open spaces. Replacing missing teeth makes life much easier!
