They allow you to eat a wider variety of foods, stay secure in your mouth for smooth talking, and help prevent your jawbone from receding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those are all fantastic advantages to be sure, but you should also consider how dental implants can improve your emotional state. Keep reading to connect the dots between dental implants and good vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Jawbone Mass Means More Peace of Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The threat of looming jawbone loss is intimidating, to say the least. For one thing it just <em>sounds <\/em>scary. For another thing, it has major implications for your oral health and structure. Without supporting bone, any remaining natural teeth will shift, loosen, or fall out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With dental implants, you don\u2019t have to worry about any of that. The posts that anchor your false teeth to your jawbone are made from titanium. This substance is well received by organic bone. As you recover after placement, your jawbone will merge with the implant, until they essentially become one unit. This keeps both your bone and your implant in place. Plus, a 95% success rate doesn\u2019t leave much room for doubt or anxiety!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Simple Truth: Eating Food Makes Us Happy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical reassurance is great, but many people\u2019s favorite aspect of dental implants is the expanded dietary menu. It\u2019s no wonder why. Eating the same four foods all the time is depressing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile sticky carbs and difficult sugars are proven to release dopamine \u2013 the very chemical responsible for boosting our mood. Finally, think about how many holidays involve grandiose meals. Almost all of them. It\u2019s hard <em>not <\/em>to feel down when you can\u2019t enjoy nostalgic favorites along with everyone else.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Say Goodbye to Cartoonish Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, sagging facial skin and worn-out looking teeth can make us feel old. But there\u2019s something primally disheartening about plopping your dentures in their solution for the night and instantly visualizing every cartoon rendering of senior citizens you\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the media\u2019s intention was probably not to boil grandparents down to a gag, and your loved ones certainly don\u2019t respect you any less. But that\u2019s the thing about anxiety, isn\u2019t it? It can make us irrationally self-conscious. You\u2019ll never have to remove your dental implants, and they won\u2019t randomly fall out onto your plate. In fact, they\u2019ll look and feel so natural that hardly anyone will notice that they\u2019re fake!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research increasingly shows that our mental and emotional wellbeing is just as important as our physical health. Chronic depression and anxiety can literally take years off our lives, while the smallest of positive actions, like smiling, have countless benefits. So ensure you can smile confidently with dental implants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Brian Lavery has placed hundreds of dental implants in his lifetime.
