5 MOST COMMON MYTHS ABOUT DENTAL IMPLANTS

Often we can realise the significance of having beautiful and attractive teeth only when we lose them. Thanks to modern dental treatment procedures, you can get back your beautiful teeth and alluring smile back again. We are talking about the dental implant process.

This is one of the dental treatments that will help you to get back your teeth after you lose the original ones. However, there are countless myths about dental implants you can hear on the grapevine, which may make you a little confused about the procedure. Here, we will discuss the most common dental implants myths which you have heard and should ignore.

Myth #1: Dental Implants Are Only for the Elderly

Dental implants can be done at any age. It is in the early 20s when the human jawbone becomes completely developed. If you do not have any severe health issues, and your jawbone and gums are in good shape and good health, then you can consider having an implant at any age to meet your requirements. You do not need to wait until your 50 or 60.

Myth #2: Dental Implant Procedure is Painful

It is, in fact, less painful than you expect or have assumed. You may have heard about the “immense pain” he or she has tolerated during their dental implants. This may make you scared. But it completely depends on the dental implant expert whether the patient will feel the process extremely painful or not. If you find an experienced and highly skilled implant specialist, then you will experience some pressure on the gum during the procedure, but the pain would not be there because the specialists always use anaesthesia on the patient before such procedures.

Myth #3: Everyone Can Notice my Artificial Teeth

The dental implants do not look like artificial teeth; they look like your real ones. Hence, it would not be possible for someone to tell whether you have an implant or not until you tell them about it. So, you do not need to feel embarrassed about your dental implant whenever you meet people. You can talk and smile confidently with your dental implants.

Myth #4: Dental Implants Are Very Costly

Depending on the benefits you can have because of dental implants, the cost of the procedure might not be as high as you think. In fact, dental implants are a smarter investment than have bridges which usually do not last longer than 10 to 15 years. Dental implants have a longer life than this, which makes your investment a smart one. But of course, correct and regular maintainance is a must for all these options to last. To know the exact cost of the implants, you should talk to your dentist.

Myth #5: Eating Foods with Implants Will Be a Big Issue

After getting the implants, for the first few days, you may feel such issues. Since your gums, bone, and mouth are still not familiar with the implants; you may experience some sort of discomfort during eating foods. After a while, everything will seem easy, smooth and normal. For those first few days, you should not try eating hard items like meat bones, corn or anything like that which may cause pain in your gums. Eat semi-solid and soft foods to give your implants a chance to adjust to the new environment.
