Everyone does about something\u2014whether it\u2019s a physical attribute or something they said or did. For you, replacing teeth with dental implants is embarrassing. Your feelings are valid, but when you really think about it, you can actually feel excited about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestclevelandsmiles.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>! Here are three good reasons you can be proud of your new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #1: Tooth Loss Is Common.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, the source of embarrassment isn\u2019t getting implants, but missing teeth in general. Especially in cases where tooth loss <em>might<\/em> have been avoided, a patient may feel self-conscious or ashamed of their circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they often don\u2019t realize just how common tooth loss is! In fact, according to the American College of Prosthodontics, 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth, and 36 million people have no natural teeth left at all. Needless to say, you\u2019re far from being alone if you have lost one or more teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #2: Dental Implants Look the Most Natural.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although traditional dentures and bridges have their merits, they only replace the visible portion of teeth. In contrast, dental implants substitute for lost tooth roots, which keeps the jawbone stimulated and strong. As a result, it doesn\u2019t shrink or make your face appear sunken and older, as usually happens with tooth loss. You get to hold onto a more youthful facial shape, giving your confidence a significant boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, because the implants replicate real teeth in structure, they tend to look a lot more realistic than other replacement options that just sit on top of the gums. As a result, you don\u2019t have to worry about those around you noticing that your teeth are prosthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #3: Dental Implants Won\u2019t Slip When You Smile, Talk, or Eat.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve had partial or full dentures before, you may have had the unpleasant experience of having your replacement teeth slip out of place at an inconvenient time. Whether you\u2019re laughing at a joke, trying to chew your food, or talking to a group of friends, this can be an embarrassing situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, dental implants are anchored to the jawbone, which means they\u2019re not going anywhere! They are just as reliable as natural teeth. As a result, you can focus on enjoying the moment and not feeling overly concerned about your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you may have felt embarrassed at first about getting dental implants, hopefully these reasons give you peace of mind about your choice. Instead of hiding or being too self-conscious about your smile, dental implants can give you more confidence and pride in yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Advanced Dental Center, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestclevelandsmiles.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Glenn Shtarkman and Dr. Caroline Salib<\/a> offer comprehensive dental implant treatment in one location.
