While Halloween is a few days away, you may already have Thanksgiving in mind. Fair enough – this latter holiday can involve several weeks of prep work. Having said that, now is a good time to consider dental implants; these unique posts would make Turkey Day all the more fun! Your Allen dentist can even share holiday-related reasons for getting this treatment. To that end, here’s a primer on getting the most out of Thanksgiving with dental implants.
Context: What are Dental Implants?
Of course, you can’t consider a treatment you know nothing about. You must learn what dental implants are before you see their Thanksgiving benefits.
Dental implants are small, tooth-sized posts made of durable titanium. Once placed in your jaw, they act as substitute tooth roots by fusing with your jawbone. This fusion process ensures they remain secure and become permanent parts of your mouth. That way, they can both look and act like natural teeth for many years to come!
Due to the points above, getting dental implants is a multi-month process. Your treatment’s perks wouldn’t extend to this year’s Thanksgiving; the posts would need more time to fuse. However, getting dental implants now would mean they’d enhance next year’s Turkey Day.
How Dental Implants Make Thanksgiving Better
Overall, dental implants improve Thanksgiving in several ways. These include:
They Help You Eat Holiday Foods
As you likely already know, Thanksgiving is jam-packed with delicious foods and treats. Dishes can range from traditional turkey and ham to stuffing, green bean casserole, and more. Still, eating such things can be tricky or nearly impossible if you’re missing teeth. The good news is that dental implants would restore your bite’s strength, allowing you to eat your favorite tough Thanksgiving foods!
They Prevent Oral Health Issues
When you suffer from tooth loss, it’s pretty easy to develop oral health issues. Smile gaps are breeding grounds for harmful bacteria and put you at risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and worse. Thankfully, dental implants would make these issues less likely during your Thanksgiving holiday. They’d “fill in” your grin’s gaps and reduce the spread of harmful bacteria through your mouth.
They Make Confident Smiles Easy
Like many folks, you probably reconnect with loved ones you don’t see often on Thanksgiving. You don’t want to share an emptied-out smile with them, right? That’d make for awkward and self-conscious holiday meals. A great solution to this problem would be dental implants, as they’d restore your grin and let you beam confidently around friends and family.
A Thanksgiving with dental implants has more upsides than downsides. That being the case, talk to your dental provider about an implant treatment soon!
