If so, you can smile easily knowing you\u2019ve replaced your missing teeth with the next best thing to bringing them back. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, now is the perfect time of year to think about all of the things that you\u2019re grateful for. Here are five reasons to be thankful for dental implants this holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. No Slippage to Worry About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While dentures are notorious for slipping out of place when eating or talking, this isn\u2019t an issue with dental implants. Since the posts are securely embedded in your jawbone, they\u2019ll stay put no matter what. Thanks to this durable, long-lasting foundation, you\u2019ll never need to worry about your teeth shifting or falling out and leading to embarrassing moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Enhanced Self-Confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have a full set of pearly whites that reliably stays in place, it\u2019s easy to smile with confidence! With this boost in self-esteem, you\u2019ll feel great about being in all of the family photos, and you\u2019ll be able to talk and laugh at the dinner table without worrying about your appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Fewer Oral Health Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last thing anyone wants is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spillmanfamilydental.com\/emergency-dentistry.html\">dental emergency<\/a> to ruin their holiday plans. Luckily, dental implants reduce the risk of oral health issues compared to dentures, dental bridges, and not replacing missing teeth at all. Implants are quite easy to clean, making you less likely to develop gum infections, decay in your remaining teeth, or other painful oral problems that throw a wrench into your Thanksgiving dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. A Strong &amp; Healthy Jawbone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>By integrating with your jawbone, dental implants don\u2019t just offer incredible stability. They also prevent your jawbone from shrinking as it ordinarily would after teeth are lost. As a result, your jaw should remain strong and healthy, so it can give your facial tissues the support they need. This means you can avoid the sunken, aged appearance that denture wearers often have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. The Ability to Eat All of Your Favorite Holiday Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With dental implants, nothing at the Thanksgiving dinner table should be off-limits. People with dentures often have to limit tough meats, chewy treats, and other tasty foods. Because dental implants restore almost all of your original biting strength, you should have no problem chowing down on all of your favorite seasonal foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental technology has come a long way in just the last few decades, allowing you to enjoy the most lifelike tooth replacement possible today. While you\u2019re enjoying quality time with loved ones this holiday season, don\u2019t forget to take a moment to be thankful for your dental implants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at Spillman Family Dental of Rockwall, we\u2019re proud to provide a dental home for families in Rockwall, TX, and the nearby communities. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spillmanfamilydental.com\/meet-dr-travis-spillman.html\">Dr. Spillman<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spillmanfamilydental.com\/meet-dr-jacquelyn-green.html\">Dr. Green<\/a> each have more than two decades of experience in the dental field, and with their combined expertise, we can provide start-to-finish dental implant treatment in one convenient location.
