Dental implants<\/a> are often considered the pinnacle of dental restorations because they both look and function more like natural teeth than other options. Despite this, many people hesitate to move forward with treatment because they have a misunderstanding or heard false information. That means many patients miss out on the many unique advantages they provide out of fear! \u00a0Keep reading to learn 3 interesting facts that you might not already know about dental implants so you can make an informed decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Fact #1: Dental Implants Are Cavity-Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot of conflicting information about whether you need to worry about cavities with dental implants. They\u2019re comprised of a support rod that\u2019s inserted into your teeth which is covered by a tooth-shaped cap. Because the materials are artificial, they cannot get cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to note, however, that it\u2019s still possible for your remaining pearly whites to develop decay. To prevent it, brush and floss every morning and evening. This ensures that harmful bacteria are scrubbed away to keep your entire mouth in prime condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #2: Dental Implants Are Highly Successful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that dental implants are one of the most successful surgical procedures? They have a 95% success rate, which is incredibly high. Not only that, but they restore up to 70% of your chewing ability compared to the 30% that\u2019s restored with other methods, like dentures. Furthermore, if cared for properly, dental implants can last up to 30 years so they\u2019re also a long-lasting solution. Their incredible resilience and efficiency are among the many benefits they provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #3: Dental Implants Require Fewer Dietary Restrictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This restoration is unique in that it\u2019s inserted directly into the jawbone, so it doesn\u2019t rely on your other teeth to remain put. It contains a support rod that will eventually fuse with your jaw through a process called osseointegration, then essentially function like a root. It usually takes 6-12 months for this process to complete, so you\u2019ll want to be careful about what you eat during that time. Hard candies or crunchy foods, for example, could break them or hinder your healing after your surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once everything has recovered, you\u2019ll be able to eat a much broader variety of foods than with other restorations like dentures or dental bridges. You won\u2019t have to worry about anything becoming displaced or falling out mid-meal so more of the menu is available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019re aware of some true information about dental implants, you and your dentist can work together on the best solution to restore your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
