Bridges, partials, and dentures have undergone several improvements over the years, but they will never feel quite like your real teeth. As an alternative, 500,000 people per year are turning to dental implants to treat their tooth loss, but do they feel natural? Here\u2019s what you can expect to ensure you\u2019re making the right choice for your smile.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Placement Surgery Isn\u2019t Painful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You won\u2019t need to worry about any pain during your implant placement procedure. Your dentist will use sedation or anesthesia to ensure you\u2019re comfortable. Depending on the method used, like IV sedation, you may not even remember your surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Feel Natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional options to replace missing teeth only treat the portion of the tooth visible above the gum line. A dental implant goes a step further. It replicates the entire structure of the tooth from the root up. A titanium post is surgically placed into your jaw to serve as a root. Your jaw will fuse to the post through a process called osseointegration. After your jawbone has healed, you\u2019ll have a stable foundation to support your restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll never need to worry about any slipping or irritation to enjoy your favorite foods. You will regain as much as 70% of your natural biting force. Your dental implants will closely mimic your real teeth, so you can chew, speak, and smile without any concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Don\u2019t Hurt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll require oral surgery to place your implant posts into your jawbone; therefore, it\u2019s normal to experience some discomfort while you heal. Once you\u2019ve fully recovered from your procedure, you shouldn\u2019t feel any pain. In fact, you\u2019ll notice your dental implants are far more comfortable than any previous traditional prosthesis you might have used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you develop any pain or your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellicottcitysmiles.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a> feels loose, contact your dentist right away. They will pinpoint the cause of the issue to prevent dental implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Improve Your Speech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Implant-supported prosthetics don\u2019t feel bulky like dentures. Not to mention, they will also be secured to your jawbone to eliminate any slipping. You will be able to pronounce your words clearly, so they don\u2019t sound mumbled or slurred. You can speak confidently knowing your new teeth will never move out of position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in Your Quality of Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are the next best thing to your natural teeth. They don\u2019t rely on other teeth or your gum tissue for support. As a result, you\u2019ll enjoy excellent stability to invest in your quality of life and self-esteem. You can benefit from a new outlook on life through the power of dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Reza Modarres<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ellicottcitysmiles.com\/meet-reza-modarres-dds-ms.html\">Dr. Modarres<\/a> earned his dental degree at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.
