Are you struggling with missing teeth? One of the greatest things about living in the 21st century is the fact that missing teeth can be a thing of the past. You no longer need to settle for gaps in your smile. There are several different options out there when it comes to tooth replacement, with dental implants being a preferred method by patients and dentists alike because of their many benefits. However, there is a lot of misinformation out there as well. Continue reading to learn about some dental implant myths and why they arent true.
Most people who have had dental implants placed in the past have reported little discomfort throughout the entire process. During the procedure, local anesthesia will be used to numb the area to help you feel comfortable. You may have some pain after the procedure while the implant is healing, but your dentist will let you know which medications you can take to minimize this. This way, you can recover with ease.
When you choose a skilled dentist with lots of experience in this area of the field, your implants will blend in perfectly with the rest of your smile. Each implant is precisely placed after careful planning. The crowns that are attached to the end of your dental implants are customized to be the exact size, shape, and color needed to perfectly match your other teeth.
While there a variety of different ways to replace missing teeth, they arent all equal. Bridges are comprised of one or more artificial teeth being held in place by the surrounding teeth on both sides of the gap. Most of the time, dental implants are a better option because they replace the natural root of the missing teeth. This helps to preserve the structure of the surrounding teeth and prevents bone loss. Ultimately, bridges tend to cause the surrounding teeth to bear more stress, shortening its life.
When you pay for cheaper implants, you are probably not receiving the highest quality of material. This can be extremely dangerous because dental implants are integrated into your jawbone and function as a living part of your body. Materials like biocompatible titanium are crucial for quality implants. When you spend a little bit more on implants, youre doing yourself a favor in the long run. Quality implants are a worthwhile investment!
