There is nothing better than properly enjoying your favourite meal, savoring every bite without feeling any kind of unease or discomfort. Yet, this has certainly become quite a challenge for those who are missing one, some or all of their teeth.

Rediscovering the Joy of Eating:
Missing teeth can have a staggering effect on what you can eat. You develop a hatred of chewing, and begin to tell yourself that you will eat anything as long as you don’t have to chew it. The result is that certain foods you once loved and enjoyed begin to seem out of reach. In addition, when we are no longer eating the foods we enjoy and that comprise our best food groups, we are robbed of the simple pleasure of our own meals. Remember what it feels like to eat with joy? With dental implants you’ll find you can start eating with confidence again.
Restoring Chewing Functionality:
Chewing: This should go without saying, but it’s one of the top reasons to get rid of your embarrassing old dentures and get dental implants instead. They stay put in your jaw, so with implants you won’t have to worry about your flashy new teeth falling out of your mouth when you’re chomping down on chewy pizza! That’s a win in my book. You can eat the foods you like. Instead of having to force yourself to chew on foods that are mushy, soupy or overcooked, you can enjoy the foods you always liked in the first place.
Enjoying a Varied Diet:
Stability provided by dental implants can restore a varied diet because many foods are difficult to chew and consume when you have missing teeth. A full diet and sustained good health are interconnected, so dental implants really can play a significant role in your overall health.
Improved Digestion:
Chewing breaks down the food in the mouth so the rest of the digestive system can efficiently process it. If you’ve ever eaten a meal in a hurry, or when you’re stressed, and not chewed as well as you could – you’ll experience gastrointestinal symptoms. Don’t have teeth? You chew poorly. Don’t chew properly, and food gets through your system: over-working your digestion and taking more of the nutrients of the meal from you. So, replacing teeth that were taken from you, becomes part of normalising your chewing ability – so you can eat the food and digest it as nature intended.
Confidence in Social Settings:
Nothing says friends or family like sharing a meal. But when you shy away from forks and plates because of missing teeth, you can miss out on a good time. Dental implants don’t just restore your ability to physically eat. They restore your confidence in being social and able to eat at the same time as your companions. So you can engage in lively discourse about the quality of the cuisine and the people you share it with instead of being overly concerned with the security of your chompers.
Maintaining a Healthy Weight:
Not eating right – not consuming the right kinds and the right amount of foods can be enough to make you lose (or gain) weight, or in other cases can leave you lacking the right nutrients you should have in your daily diet. With dental implants, you can ensure you get the right kind and amount of foods for a healthy diet. Installing dental implants for a missing tooth or teeth in your mouth allows you to eat the proper nutrition for a healthy well balanced diet and to avoid nutrient deficiency, being under or over weight as well as other health problems. It is now evident that dental implants can help to prevent nutritionally related health problems – by helping you eat right – helping you maintain a proper diet and digestive system.
The Process:
Having dental implants may be a missing link to your ultimate goal of having smooth and unimpeded eating. Here’s some information about the procedure.
After a consultation, the implant(s) is placed, and there is an healing period while it fuses with the jawbone. The implant is ready when it secures to the jawbone, and the fixated tooth (or teeth) is added-on. The completed process restores a natural looking tooth that is seamlessly permanently integrated into your smile.
Conclusion:
Eating with joy also means eating with others because when you eat, you might as well enjoy it. Dental implants restore life. Not only do they rebuild that amazing smile of yours, they also allow for uninhibited eating, which in turn open up a bigger part of your life.
