The process of receiving dental implants requires much patience. After all, once they are firmly in place, you’ll be expected to spend 3-6 months recovering at home, making sure your implants fused with your bone tissues. Because of their timeline, many individuals find it difficult to pursue such treatment throughout the busy seasons of fall, winter, and spring. If you want to make sure your smile looks and feels better than ever this next year, here are 3 reasons you won’t want to put off your dental implant surgery this summer.
Fall Ready Smile
Whether it is agreeing to be a part of your cousin’s wedding party, taking on the role of PTA president at your child’s school, or preparing for job interviews this fall, dental implants can make a difference as to how others look at you. By choosing to start the placement process in the summer, you can be well on your way to achieving a full, complete smile before your crazy and chaotic year begins. Not only will you make a great first impression, but you’ll be ready for all the photos you’ll likely be in, as holidays and other special occasions rapidly approach in the coming months.
Renewed Confidence
Tooth loss can be a devastating reality for many individuals. Being unable to eat, speak, and smile properly can leave you feeling embarrassed and hopeless. However, with dental implants, you can enjoy renewed confidence in your abilities and appearance. Starting the process in the summer will allow you to recover in private if you wish. Also, once you have your restoration secured into place, you’ll feel far more confident than before when meeting with family, friends, and colleagues again.
Enjoyable Recovery
Would you rather recover inside, on the couch, cozied up with a blanket and movie, or laying outside and enjoying the warm breeze while you read another book by your favorite author? No matter if it’s a lounge chair by the pool or hammock overlooking the lake, summer is a great time to recover from surgery, as there are endless places to simply relax. Yes, you can take a nap on the couch or stay in bed a bit longer but allowing yourself to get outdoors and appreciate the warmer temperatures will certainly make for a more enjoyable at-home recovery.
Can you wait until fall to start the process of receiving dental implants? Yes, but if you want to make the most of your available time, it’s best to jumpstart your journey to a new smile right now. Talk to your local implant dentist to discuss what first steps you need to take to embrace the benefits of a healthier, complete, and beautiful smile.
