You might not be able to chew comfortably, but your confidence can also take a hit. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holcombdds.com\/dental-implants.html\">Dental implants<\/a> are often a reliable choice as they give you up to 90% of your original bite back, but do they have any cosmetic benefits? Here are three things you should know about this tooth replacement and aesthetics.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeps Your Face Full<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, with missing teeth, your facial appearance will change. Your jawbone may weaken as the roots that were once there are no longer providing the stimulation it needs to stay strong. This can make your cheeks sink in or cause increased wrinkles around your lips. These can actually make you look older than you are. However, dental implants help stop this. A post will be inserted into your jaw, giving it the healthy stimulation it once had. That way, you keep it dense and preserve your face shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personalized Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few people might be worried that their results with this tooth replacement will be obvious, but they are often very lifelike. The part that sits above your gumline is the restoration. It may be a crown, bridge, or denture, depending on what your smile needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, your provider uses high-quality materials that can mimic the look of natural enamel. They will also be color-matched and their size adjusted; that way, they blend in seamlessly.  Those around you will just admire how great your full smile looks with this treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easier Time Eating and Laughing Confidently<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building off the points above, eating with your restored grin will also be a breeze. The post that\u2019s in your jawbone and the restoration on top work together to stay strong and sturdy. You can feel confident digging into your meals without worrying about anything slipping. If you are with a group, you\u2019ll be able to stay in the moment without any worries about how your smile looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.holcombdds.com\/meet-the-doctor.html\">Dr. Joshua Holcomb<\/a> earned his dental degree from the  College of Dentistry, UT Memphis.
