\"Dental<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot of misinformation out there about dental implants<\/a>. In fact, some things you may have heard could even prevent you from getting them yourself. But thankfully, some of what you might have been told could be false. If you\u2019re curious about separating fact from fiction, here are a few common misconceptions about dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Hard to Maintain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve heard that dental implants are hard to care for, you heard wrong. It\u2019s actually very easy to maintain them. You simply need to brush and floss them like you would your natural teeth and see your dentist twice a year as you would normally do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Have a High Failure Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While it is rare, dental implants can sometimes fail to properly attach to the jawbone, however this occurs in only about 5 percent of all cases. Your dentist will make every effort to ensure that you are a good candidate for dental implants before attempting to attach them. You may require a bone graft or sinus lift procedure to prepare your jaw for them, but in most cases if your dentist believes you are a suitable candidate, the odds for success are in your favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Look Fake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The great news about dental implants is that they look and feel very natural. In fact, most people can\u2019t tell you have them, because unlike dentures they are attached to your jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Don\u2019t Function as Well as Natural Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there is currently no dental prosthetic that works as well as your natural teeth, dental implants are the closest thing to \u201creal\u201d teeth as possible. They provide greater biteforce than dentures or implant dentures, and there are no restrictions on the type of foods you can chew with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Painful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While there may be some initial discomfort following dental implant surgery, that pain will subside, and you will once again be able to chew food comfortably. To ensure that your healing time is as quick as possible, be sure to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Strictly Cosmetic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The great news about dental implants is that they are more than just attractive: they are functional and even beneficial, too. That\u2019s because in addition to helping you eat a wider variety of healthy foods, having dental implants attached can actually help prevent bone loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re considering dental implants but have held off because of rumors, don\u2019t despair. These prosthetics are a wonderful way to restore your smile, improve your confidence, and help improve your oral and overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
