Did you know over 500,000 people every year choose dental implants to replace their missing teeth? They are unlike any other treatment because they recreate the entire tooth. As a result, they look and feel natural. Although you have all year to visit your dentist, summer is the ideal time to treat your lost teeth. Here are 4 benefits of choosing dental implants this summer.
1. Invest in your confidence.
Research shows people who don’t like their smiles often have low self-esteem. Not to mention, many people form their first opinion about a person based on the appearance of their smile. You can ensure your smile is sending the right message by replacing your missing teeth. You’ll also boost your confidence because you’ll look younger, successful, and intelligent.
2. Flexibility in your schedule.
Let’s face it, life is busy. You rarely have time to take a day off, let alone several days to recover from oral surgery. Thankfully, life tends to slow down during the summer. You might even have a few vacations days available. This provides the perfect opportunity to recover from your placement surgery without worrying about getting back to the office or missing work. You can lay out by the pool and soak up the sun while allowing your mouth to heal.
3. Your dental benefits haven’t expired.
Your dental insurance is an investment because it allows you to enjoy reduced rates for common oral health services. Unfortunately, your policy expires at the end of the year. You won’t be reimbursed for anything you don’t use, and nothing will carry over into the new year. With less than 3% of Americans exceeding their annual limits, you likely have benefits you can use to offset the cost of your dental implant procedure. While your dental insurance won’t pay the entire cost, it can lower the fees of certain steps in your treatment plan, like tooth extractions, X-rays, or restorations. Since we’re already halfway through the year, time is running out to use your remaining coverage before it expires.
4. Enjoy your favorite foods again.
You don’t need to skip your summer favorites during the next family barbeque. You can enjoy steak and even corn on the cob because your dental implants will feel like your real teeth. They’ll have the support of your jawbone to regain as much as 70% of your natural biting force.
