At least 120 million Americans are missing one or more teeth. If you\u2019ve been waiting to have them replaced, there isn\u2019t any better time than now to invest in a beautiful, functional smile. Dental implants are unlike any other treatment because they recreate the entire tooth, including the root. They will closely look and feel just like your natural teeth. Here are 4 reasons summer is the perfect opportunity to achieve the stunning smile you deserve.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. You\u2019re losing bone in your jaw.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know when you lose a tooth, your jawbone slowly deteriorates because it isn\u2019t being stimulated by the root? You can lose as much as 25% of your jaw\u2019s density within the first year of missing a tooth. As your bone weakens, your remaining teeth won\u2019t have the support they need, which might cause them to fall out. You\u2019ll also look years older than your real age because your facial tissues won\u2019t have the proper structure. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.puskasdentistry.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a> is the only treatment to replicate the root, which can stop bone loss. The sooner you treat your missing teeth, the more of your natural smile you\u2019ll preserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Flexibility in your schedule.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the kids home from school, life tends to slow down during the summer. You have more flexibility in your schedule, which means you can take time off from work to recover from your placement surgery. You won\u2019t need to worry about running back to the office or taking your child to practice, so you can sit back and relax while your mouth heals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Enjoy your favorite summer activities.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research has shown that people with missing teeth also tend to have low self-esteem. If you\u2019re embarrassed by the gaps in your smile, you might avoid certain situations, like pool parties or taking vacation photos. You don\u2019t need to hide your smile this summer. Dental implants look like your real teeth to instantly boost your confidence. You might find you\u2019re happier and more outgoing to enjoy all your favorite warm-weather activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Your dental insurance hasn\u2019t expired.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the year, your dental insurance will expire. You aren\u2019t reimbursed for anything you don\u2019t use, and nothing will carry over into the new year. With less than 3% of Americans meeting their annual limits, you likely have several benefits remaining. Since we\u2019re already halfway through the year, you don\u2019t want to wait any longer to use your coverage to offset the cost of dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t spend another day living with an incomplete smile. Invest in your oral health and confidence with dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Dr. Anna M.
