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

It\u2019s inevitable that people will gossip about things that are popular. Celebrities have tabloids, and apparently, dental restorations have myths. What you\u2019ve heard or read through the internet grapevine might not be true. While you\u2019ll have to turn to a different source to get the tea on your favorite stars, you can read more about five common dental implant<\/a> rumors right here and now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. Dental Implants Are for Cosmetic Appeal, Nothing More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Very few dental cosmetic treatments<\/a> are purely cosmetic, let alone restorations! Dental implants happen to be the best replacement option for your oral health. Since they anchor directly to your jawbone, they\u2019re able to prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, preserve your jawbone by stimulating your gums, and improve your diet by enabling you to eat more foods. Consider this myth super busted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. They Don\u2019t Even Look Good Next to Natural Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the opposite end of the rumor mill, it appears the misconception is that dental implants aren\u2019t <\/em>cosmetically appealing. Perhaps metal crowns and fillings have made a poor impression on some. Regardless, nowadays false teeth can be crafted from quality tooth-colored materials. Not only will your dental implants be the same color as any existing natural teeth, but they\u2019ll be the same shape and size, too! All without sacrificing durability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Dental Implants Are Horribly Uncomfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Actually, many patients think that their implants are comfortable. It\u2019s easy to see where this rumor might have come from, though. Anchoring a titanium post to your jawbone and capping it with a crown doesn\u2019t sound cozy. However, you won\u2019t be able to feel your implant in your jaw, and this design is what keeps it so firmly rooted in place. Less shifting and slippage means less irritation all-around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. The Treatment Isn\u2019t Worth the Risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s very little risk involved in dental implant treatment. For one thing, dentists are vigilant about checking patients for oral complications (such as gum disease or a thin jawbone) that could interfere with the process. For another, dental implants have a 95% success rate. In some studies that statistic is even higher. Basically, you can be reasonably confident in dental implant treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5. Only Senior Citizens Can Receive Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t worry, dentists won\u2019t gatekeep this fantastic restoration from the young! Dental implants can work just as well for whippersnappers and will offer the same oral health and function benefits. So don\u2019t let age stop you from consulting with your dentist about a dental implant treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misinformation can be tricky to navigate in the dental world. Dental implants in particular are one of the more complicated restorations to understand. That\u2019s why you should always check in with your dentist before committing to or writing off a specific treatment. You might just be surprised at how well it could suit your needs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
