Understanding Oral Health
Many people do not realize how important flossing is in our daily hygiene routines. While flossing may seem time consuming, it is majorly beneficial to our oral health and hygiene. On top of flossing, brushing day and night is essential to clean everything out of the teeth. Flossing removes the excess plaque and debris where build up may occur. Without flossing, your teeth may experience a buildup of plaque, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. If you floss along with brushing your teeth, you will notice your gums and teeth will be much healthier.

Also, being sure to have regularly scheduled dental exams to protect yourself from gum disease or other oral health issues. Additional maintenance beyond the above mentioned things is not a requirement.
Preserving the Jaw
When a tooth or teeth are missing the bone around where the tooth would have been will eventually start to deteriorate. With bone deterioration the structure and shape of the jaw can begin to shift which causes a change in the appearance of a person. However, because of the fact that dental implants are placed at the root the jawbone is preserved and essentially dental implants promote bone regeneration. Also, the dental implants protect the bone and overall improve the aesthetic appeal of your entire smile.
Eat What You Want

This means the quality of your life will be improved because you no longer have to avoid certain foods for fear of your dentures falling out or getting stuck in your food. Eating what you want when you want gives you newfound freedom.
