After all, you certainly want your smile not just to look good, but to feel great, too! Here\u2019s what you can expect from your new teeth, and why you won\u2019t regret ditching your dentures for dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Replace Your Entire Tooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are designed to fuse permanently with your jawbone. They are made of durable titanium that won\u2019t rust and should not cause any pain once osseointegration is completed. This will allow you to eat a full diet without any discomfort chewing, or without the fear of your prosthetics slipping out while you eat. &nbsp;In fact, unless your implant is failing, (which is extremely rare) you should not feel it at all once the healing process is finished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Improve Your Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike dentures which rest on your gumline, dental implants are secured in place in your jaw. This means that &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; they won\u2019t rub or pinch your soft tissue, and you shouldn\u2019t feel any sensation from them at all when eating or at any other time. In fact, they may provide improved comfort over dentures or by chewing with unfilled gaps in your arches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They Won\u2019t Decrease Your Biting Power<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Missing teeth and even replacing them with prosthetics like dentures decreases your biteforce, but with durable dental implants you\u2019ll have all the strength of real teeth, without worrying about them coming loose or having to break up or overcook your food to chew it. Thus, you can once again enjoy a full menu of your favorite meals! Better still, because they are attached to the jaw, they provide important stimulation that keeps your jawbones healthy and strong, preventing further tooth loss and jawbone deterioration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, dental implants are designed to replace missing teeth permanently. Although you may experience some initial discomfort immediately after surgery, the great news is that once your prosthetics have successfully integrated into your jaw, you should not feel any discomfort. In fact, you should be able to look and feel great about your new smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to enjoy a beautiful, healthy, pain-free smile with the help of dental implants, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drlaska.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Laska and Dr. White<\/a> are proud to provide this treatment right here in Fort Worth.
