10 Benefits of Dental Implants

Are you unhappy with your smile? Are your teeth hindering your daily life? The good news is that you don’t have to suffer! If you have damaged or missing teeth, you should seriously consider dental implants. They are the next best thing to having nice, natural teeth!

Dental implants are an excellent choice because:

(1) They are made to match your natural teeth. People will admire your gorgeous new smile, but it would not be obvious that you have implants.

(2) They are strong, stable, and durable.

(3) They feel, fit, and function like real teeth. You’ll be able to eat whatever you like.

(4) They do not contribute to the deterioration of your jawbone. Instead, they will preserve and strengthen your natural bone.

(5) They allow you to keep the shape of your face, jawline, and smile.

(6) Unlike dentures, they stay in place. You don’t have to worry about them falling out or getting loose. Plus, you don’t have to remove or readjust them, which can be embarrassing.

(7) They don’t interference with the way you pronounce words.

(8) It is not possible to get cavities in them.

(9) You care for them the same way as you would natural teeth. Brush twice a day (+ after meals) and floss daily. You would want to stay away from chewing ice, hard candies, and acidic foods just like with real teeth to protect them.

(10) They make people feel great! You’ll feel like a new person because you will have your confidence back. You won’t want to stop smiling!

Cheek Implants: The Permanent Solution for Instant Cheekbones

Many people desire to have high, prominent cheekbones, as they are considered by society to be a very aesthetically appealing feature. Some people naturally have higher cheekbones than others. Also, as people age, volume in that area often decreases. One way of adding volume back into the cheek area is through temporary facial fillers such as Juvederm. The permanent option would be with cheek augmentation.

If you are feeling somewhat hesitant or nervous about going ahead with this type of procedure, it would be a great idea to first start with Juvederm as a temporary option. This can give you the reassurance that you are making the right decision, that you like the look, and also a better idea as to the look you want. This can also make it easier for you to communicate your desired effects with your doctor, as well as also make the end result easier to adapt to because you would already be used to seeing yourself with cheek fillers.

Cheek augmentation consists of cheek implants being inserted into the face. There are many different sizes and shapes of cheek implants, as everyone has a different face and desired look. Some people want a very dramatic look, and some people may want a more subtle look. The end result also varies from person to person, depending on their current cheek volume and face shape prior to surgery.

You should consider cheek enhancement surgery if you:

  • Want a permanent solution for higher, fuller, more prominent cheeks
  • Want to improve your facial contour
  • Want to have a more balanced face with better proportion
  • Are interested in correcting face asymmetry or facial trauma
  • Wish to look more youthful and fresh
  • Feel that it would increase your confidence and self-esteem
  • Want a procedure with very low post-surgical risks
