Thanksgiving is a time of family, friends, and food. From tables spread with holiday treats to visits with loved ones, there are so many memories made during this special time of the year! But if you are one of the 120 million Americans who are missing teeth, your Thanksgiving may have been dampened by your incomplete smile. Fortunately, dental implants<\/a> can return some brightness by the time the next one rolls around! Keep reading to learn about four ways this tooth-replacement option can make your holiday complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Are Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Considered the gold standard among other restorations, dental implants replace the entire tooth structure. Titanium steel posts are implanted into your jawbone, which act as the teeth\u2019s root. Since the dental implant is embedded into your jawbone, it provides incomparable stability and longevity. Eventually, the titanium completely melds with your jaw since it is biocompatible with human tissue. As a result, this unique tooth-replacement option restores natural bite power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the process can take a few months to complete, from start to finish, dental implants can last a lifetime if cared for properly! By starting the process for a complete smile as soon as possible, your next holiday can be celebrated without the worries that tooth loss can bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Can Dental Implants Help You Enjoy Your Next Thanksgiving?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are the ways that dental implants can make your holiday a more enjoyable time for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     You Can Enjoy a Range of Foods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Food is always a big part of Thanksgiving celebrations! The delicious options range from turkey to pecan pie to candied popcorn. When you suffer from tooth loss, it can be tough to have to miss out on delicious treats while your family partakes in them. However, dental implants allow you to join your loved ones and indulge in a full range of your favorite foods!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.     Your Jawbone Strength Will Be Renewed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the loss of teeth can result in losing bone loss as well. When the gapped areas of your mouth are no longer being stimulated by chewing, the jawbone can begin to decrease. But dental implants are able to stimulate your jawbone\u2019s strength due to the small biocompatible titanium posts that are implanted into the jaw.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.     You Will Save Time with Oral Hygiene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are a one-of-a kind restoration because they completely mimic natural teeth, from root to crown. There are no extra steps or special care required; just maintain a regular, consistent healthy oral health routine of brushing twice a day for at least two minutes and flossing daily. Your time can be focused on what is important: enjoying your holiday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.     You Can Smile and Talk with Confidence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most difficult things about an incomplete smile is how it affects your ability to freely smile and talk with others.  Missing teeth can cause you to feel timid and self-conscious. In addition, it can also affect your speech. Dental implants instantly restore your confidence and clear speech. You can smile and talk with no reservations at Thanksgiving dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your missing teeth don\u2019t have to affect your next holiday celebration. Dental implants can complete your smile and allow you to fully enjoy this special time of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
