Thanksgiving has come around the corner and is on its way to the dinner table. Soon you’ll be able to enjoy the company of family and friends, and, if you have dental implants, plenty of good food! Before Black Friday comes screeching by with supermarket deals and online discounts, why not take a moment to appreciate your new replacement teeth? Here’s how dental implants will improve your holiday experience.
Good Company and Good Conversation
The dinner table is a good place to catch up with friends and family, and Thanksgiving has probably brought together people that you don’t get to see often. With dental implants, you’ll easily be able to share your tales from the past couple of months. Since they’re anchored down to your jawbone, they’re not going anywhere anytime soon, and will stay in place without slipping loose or falling out.
Fabulous Fall Photo-Shoot
The seasons are just starting to shift, making it the perfect time to show off trendy new outfits or take aesthetic photos in the fall scenery. Though even if posing for the camera isn’t your thing, your family will probably want to take pictures! Thanks to your seamlessly placed dental implants and their toothlike coloring, you can smile confidently when the time comes.
Tear Into Your Favorite Foods
One of the best features of dental implants has to be how powerful they are. If natural teeth provide 100% chewing power, dentures provide about 30% – while dental implants give 90%! Being firmly connected to your jawbone definitely gives them an extra edge when it comes to ripping and tearing your favorite foods. You’ll be able to eat all the turkey you want without having to worry about damaging your prosthetics.
Lasting Benefits
Dental implants aren’t the kind of thing that will be enjoyable for a year or two and then quickly deteriorate in quality. In fact, when taken care of properly, they’re the longest lasting restoration available. They can hold up for not one, not two, but three decades – or more! This also means you’ll spend less time and money on replacements or repairs, leaving more funds available for spoiling your loved ones during Christmas.
Any time of year is a good time to be thankful for dental implants, but Thanksgiving brings many of their benefits to the forefront. Whether you plan on heaping your plate with festive treats or enjoying the simple pleasure of good company, you can count on your implants to support your smile.
