Benefits Of Dental Implants

Speech Improvements

Individuals may not realize how important their teeth are in terms of being able to speak until they're missing. Teeth serve a purpose far greater than just for chewing. In fact, they've become the primary tools individuals use for speech. They work together to form hard sounds and provide the structure the tongue needs to form certain sounds and letters. If a tooth is missing, or enough teeth are missing, the tongue doesn't have anything to work against to form those sounds and letters anymore. As such, dental implants help with speech improvements. As dentures are essentially fake teeth resting on the gums with only a bit of flimsy adhesive, they may not be held together strongly enough for the tongue to work against them. This can sometimes create a lisp when an individual is speaking, or they may not be able to make sharp sounds and words at all. Too much strain of the tongue against the teeth can make dentures slide right off. This does not occur with dental implants.
