Before you replace missing teeth, you deserve to know all the options available to you in modern dentistry.
Today, our team at Lakewood Dental Centre wants to highlight dental implants and how they could potentially improve or preserve the quality of life you want and deserve!

3 Benefits Of Dental Implants You May Not Know

At Lakewood Dental Centre in Winnipeg, MB, you’ll find several dental implant solutions that offer unique benefits, some of which you may not yet realize.
Here are three of them:

*Lasting Oral Health*

With the right care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
While the initial cost may drive people toward a less expensive option, like standard dentures, over the long run, you might get more out of your investment with implants and restorations.
On top of that, dental implants attach to your jawbone, which will encourage new, healthy bone growth with time and increase your chance of better sustained oral health over the long term.

*Improved Nutrition*

High-quality, removable dentures can work well for many tooth loss patients, but they’re not without limitations.
Because they only rest on top of your gums, no matter how well they fit or how strong the adhesive that keeps them in place, certain foods require a bite strength standard dentures can’t give you.
As a result, your diet will be somewhat restricted to only those foods that you can chew and swallow easily. This will have an inevitable impact on your overall health because you may not be able to eat tougher or harder highly-nutritious fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.
But it’s also a quality of life issue. Eating is supposed to be an enjoyable sensory experience, and not being able to eat the foods you love might be a dealbreaker for you.
Dental implants naturally fuse to your jawbone for unmatched bite power compared to other replacement methods.

*Easy Oral Hygiene*

It’s widely-known that caring for traditional dentures involves a different oral hygiene routine than most people are used to. Dentures have to be taken out daily and scrubbed with special tools and non-abrasive cleansers, soaked overnight, rinsed off after meals, and handled with extreme care to avoid dropping or breaking them.
For some, the special care dentures require may be well worth the effort.
For many others, they’re too high maintenance compared to other tooth replacement options.
Dental implants and restorations, for example, don’t require sweeping modifications to your oral hygiene routine. You can brush and floss each day just as you would with your natural teeth.
This is a significant benefit that appeals to many implant patients.

The transformation taking place out in nature before our eyes during the fall season can be pretty inspirational.
It reminds us that change can be a beautiful thing.
Improving your smile is a great example!
One of the ways you can do that in Winnipeg, MB for Invisalign treatment at Lakewood Dental Centre to get a stunning, straight smile!

3 Reasons To Start Invisalign This Fall!

Here are just three of many reasons to start Invisalign this fall to get a straight smile!

*Invisalign Feels Better Than Braces*

Right from the start, you’re going to feel more discomfort with brackets and wires. The brackets are rough and pokey against your lips and cheeks, which definitely takes some getting used to.
The wires are periodically tightened, which is how the braces are able to move your teeth into the right position. But it, too, is uncomfortable each time it’s done.
None of this is to say that the discomfort lasts forever. Any pain or tension subsides after a few days.
But Invisalign is always comfortable thanks to the gentler pressure of the plastic aligners that you switch out every couple of weeks.
What’s more, the aligners are smooth against the soft tissues inside your mouth, so you don’t risk irritation or painful sores.

*Invisalign Is Effective*

Without major misalignment in your jaw and bite, Invisalign is an effective orthodontic treatment for straightening crooked teeth and closing gaps in your smile.
Your aligners are carefully, precisely designed and crafted before treatment begins,thanks to a comfortable digital impressions process. Since you can’t see them easily, you don’t have to feel self-conscious while wearing them, either.
You get the positive results without all the pain and discomfort, physically and emotionally.

*Invisalign Is Convenient*

Another unique quality about this treatment option is the flexibility and convenience it offers. You can remove your clear aligners up to rough 2 hours per day. That means you can take them out for important business lunches, professional presentations, romantic dates, or when it’s time to eat or clean your teeth.
You won’t have any dietary restrictions or special tools to help you brush and floss each day.

Call For A Consultation!

These reasons will probably make Invisalign sound like a perfect option for you.
We can definitely understand why!
But the only way to know for sure if Invisalign will work for you is to visit one of our Winnipeg, MB dentists for a consultation.
If it is, then you can start flashing your straight, beautiful smile around this time next year!

When you’re experiencing any sort of dental pain, it’s hard to focus on much else other than your discomfort. Not only will a nagging toothache steal your attention away from your daily responsibilities, but it can quickly impact your ability to enjoy simple things and your quality of life overall.
Not to mention that prolonged dental pain could put you at a higher risk for serious oral health problems if ignored or untreated.
Our team at Lakewood Dental Centre can help! When you visit our Winnipeg, MB dental office, we’ll get to the bottom of your dental pain and determine if tooth removal is the solution to help you find relief and preserve your healthy smile!

When Tooth Removal Is The Answer To Dental Pain

Because you want your natural teeth to last a lifetime, extraction is often a last resort. Ideally, a dentist can find another solution so your smile, oral health, and teeth all remain intact.
So when is tooth removal the answer to your dental pain?
Here are some common reasons you might be better off having a tooth extracted above other forms of treatment:
*A tooth is too weak to sustain yet another restorative treatment.
*A tooth has been damaged beyond repair.
*The risk of spreading infection is too great to salvage a tooth.
*Your wisdom teeth don’t have room to come in or to erupt in the right position.
*You need to make room for orthodontic treatment to correct overcrowding.
*You have advancing gum disease threatening the stability and health of your teeth.
Again, these are just a few typical reasons for tooth removal. Your specific dental needs can only be determined through a thorough oral examination from one of our highly-skilled dentists at Lakewood Dental Centre.
If tooth removal is the right solution for you, we’ll make sure you understand all your options in tooth replacement so your smile stays healthy and beautiful. The important thing to remember is that our team of experienced professionals will help you choose the method that will optimize your chances for lasting oral health, function, and durability.
