Eat Better, Be Healthier With Dental Implants (video)

stephenlega • December 9, 2017

Losing your teeth may be a bigger problem than you realize. Studies show that people with dentures, including partial dentures, are less likely to eat fruits and vegetables. Instead, they are more likely to eat processed foods, which are easier to eat with loose-fitting dentures.

You could change this by getting dental implants to support your denture or a dental bridge. Implants replace the roots of missing teeth, this makes your denture or bridge more stable. As a result, your replacement teeth function nearly as well as real ones, so you can bite and chew fruits, vegetables, and anything else that you want to eat.
