If you\u2019ve been searching for ways to replace your missing teeth, you might already be familiar with dental implants.<\/a> If you\u2019re not, know that dental implant treatment involves anchoring high-quality posts directly to your jawbone. These posts essentially act like the roots of normal teeth, securing your porcelain replacements in place with a firm grip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Already, your head might be swirling with questions and concerns. You wouldn\u2019t be the first to be cautious about dental implants. There\u2019s plenty of information and talk surrounding this replacement option \u2013 not all of which is entirely accurate. To put your mind at ease and clear up some confusion, keep reading. These five facts about dental implants might surprise you, but your dentist can confirm them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Dental Implant Placement Has a High Success Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Placing dental implants by fixing them to your jawbone probably sounds risky. That\u2019s understandable! However, 98% of the time, dental implant placement is successful. Your porcelain whites are almost guaranteed to integrate with your jaw and stay in place. The majority of patients who receive dental implants enjoy them for decades!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Dental Implants Prevent Bone Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When teeth are missing from your dental line-up, your body thinks that unoccupied portion is no longer being used. As a result, your jawbone where that tooth used to rest starts to deteriorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you fill the gap with a dental implant, you revitalize the signals being sent throughout your body. Once your biology realizes that part of your jawbone is needed again, the reabsorption process stops! Ultimately, your dental implants will prevent further bone loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Dental Implants Are Nearly Bullet-Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Okay, so they\u2019re not bullet-proof. But they are extremely hardy! Since dental implants are crafted out of high-quality inorganic materials, they can\u2019t actually develop cavities or decay. That doesn\u2019t mean you can skip brushing, though. Your gums are still organic and will contract gum disease if you don\u2019t maintain your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: Dental Implants Help You Chew<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are strong as well as resilient. While a traditional set of dentures will give you about 30% of your natural chewing power, dental implants will give you 70%! That means you can eat more food with less uncomfortable movement. Steak, apples, nuts, and all your other favorite foods will be back on the menu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Dental Implants Can Be Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no secret that dental work is often expensive. This bit of gossip is true for dental implants as well, but, fortunately, your dentist is in the know. Many dental offices offer financing options through companies like Wells Fargo. Your insurance might also be able to give you a financial boost as well, as dental insurance often covers at least part of the cost for dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite what you might\u2019ve heard, dental implants can be a great replacement solution. If you\u2019re wanting to preserve your jawbone and refuse to give up your favorite foods, then dental implants are well-worth the investment. Call your dentist today to schedule a dental implant consultation and learn more about this potentially life-changing treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
