The advancements in the field of dental implants in Peoria over past few years are almost beyond description. The direct benefits to the patient who chooses dental implants includes improved chewing, improved appearance, increased confidence, improved overall health and preservation of bone structure, just to list a few.

Very little discussion has taken place on the profound effect that tooth loss has on the psychology of the victim. Unfortunately, the most common dental treatment for missing teeth has been some type of denture that generally leaves the patient with a dental handicap that negatively affects nearly every aspect of their lives.

A recent dental health survey regarding people that have lost all their teeth and must wear dentures reveals the suffering of the public.

• Only 78% of people with no teeth are able to wear both dentures all of the time.

• Almost 10% of people with dentures are not able to wear them at all.

• 88% claim difficulty with speech with 25% having great difficulty with speech.

• More than 60% complain of excessive movement of their dentures.

• 50% of patients that wear dentures avoided many foods all together.

These problems are expressed in the patient’s loss of confidence, avoidance of social interaction, inability to speak effectively, avoidance of personal relationships, dependence upon bad tasting and messy denture adhesives and embarrassment.

In contrast, 80% of patients treated with implant-supported teeth judged their overall psychological health improved compared to their previous state wearing traditional dentures. Dental implants in Peoria are the preferred solution.
