Address the Source of Your Stress with Dental Implants
April 14, 2017
Given the hectic nature of the life of the average American adult, it is little wonder why so many cite stress as a constant problem that they have to deal with. Fortunately, you have resources available to you that offer solutions to dealing with stress. One such resource (aptly named the Health Resource Network) has worked to have April 16 named as National Stress Awareness Day. This day is meant to be observed by taking a moment to ponder the things that add stress to your life, and attempt to find solutions to help overcome them.
Missing teeth can certainly add stress to your life by impacting your self-esteem. If you are self-conscious about your smile, you may hesitate to share it, which could cause others to assume you are moody or upset and thus withdraw from you. Replacing your missing teeth help get your confidence back, yet often the solutions to this problem bring their own set of challenges.
Implants Succeed Where Other Treatments May Fail
Dental implants, however, allow you to bypass many of the issues you are forced to deal with when relying on treatments such as traditional dentures. Specific cases where implants overcome issues that dentures often present may include:
• Talking and eating: Implants remain firmly affixed to your gums via a titanium screw. This means that there is no danger of them slipping out of your mouth while talking or trying to eat certain foods.
• Care and maintenance: You care for dental implants the same way you do your normal teeth, by brushing and flossing in the morning and evening as well as between meals, and using an antiseptic mouthwash.
• Durability: The shelf life of your implants extends far beyond one-two years. In fact, with proper care, your dental implants could last decades.
The solution to much of your stress might just be as close as the office of your local dentist in Carlsbad, CA. Drs. Henninger and Huenergardt can help relieve much of the concern that comes with tooth loss by replacing your missing teeth with new dental implants. With those in place, you can go back to living the same stress-free life that you enjoyed before. To determine your candidacy for this procedure, call and schedule an appointment for a consultation right away.
