Knowledge is usually power, but maybe not when it comes to fake news and false information. As a relatively recent development in dentistry, dental implants<\/a> get a lot of attention. There\u2019s plenty of information out there to help patients make informed decisions about replacing the gaps in their teeth. And there\u2019s also plenty of information that\u2019s simply not true! Keep reading to see five dental implant myths get busted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Dental Implants are Painful to Wear<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During your dental implant treatment, your dentist will take every precaution to ensure your comfort and safety. After <\/em>your dental implant treatment, you are likely to experience some soreness. These aches are typically in line with other dental procedures and can be soothed with over-the-counter pain relievers and cold compresses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to everyday use, though, most patients find them highly comfortable, even when compared to dentures. You might forget that they\u2019re not real teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. Only Old Folks Can Receive Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now this myth just doesn\u2019t make sense. Young people can have gaps in their smiles too, whether it be due to tooth decay, gum disease, or physical trauma. Discomfort is also something that can affect anyone, and missing teeth can make eating awkward or prompt intact pearly whites to shift. As long as their dentist determines their oral health is good enough to support successful dental implants, those young\u2019uns can absolutely get dental implants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. You\u2019ll Never Be Able to Afford Them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no sugar-coating it. Dental implants are costly. But that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t ways to afford them. Dental insurance can knock the price down in some cases, and many dentists offer low-interest financing (through programs like CareCredit) or in-house membership plans. Your oral health team wants what\u2019s best for you and your teeth, so they do their best to help patients afford their services<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. It\u2019s A Risky Dental Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Actually, dental implants have a 95% success rate. Part of the reason for this incredibly high statistic is that dentists are diligent when they examine their patients\u2019 mouths during consultations. They check for anything that could impair this treatment, such as existing gum disease or a thin jawbone, and take care of it before proceeding. You can be more than reasonably assured that your replacements will be reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Dental Implants Are Purely Cosmetic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

They do look impressive. Thanks to advances in cosmetic dentistry<\/a>, dental implants can be custom-crafted out of quality materials for a shockingly tooth-like appearance. That\u2019s often not the main reason patients get them, though. Overall, dental implants provide the most power out of any other replacement. This means you can eat your favorite foods without breaking a sweat \u2013 or an implant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these five myths debunked, do dental implants sound like an interesting solution for your smile gaps? If so, be sure to call your dentist. They\u2019ll happily schedule a consultation with you to determine whether dental implants are right for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
