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

Since dental implants<\/a> are extremely popular, you might already know quite a bit about them, including that they are custom-made for each patient to ensure they look and feel just like the real thing. That said, there are some facts about this state-of-the-art tooth-replacement solution that are often overlooked. Here are five examples!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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

Since dental implants are artificial, they cannot develop cavities! Of course, that doesn\u2019t mean you can throw your oral hygiene regimen out the window. The lifespan of yours rests heavily on the strength of your jawbone and the health of your gums, so it\u2019s important that you continue to commit to good habits, like eating a healthy, well-balanced diet and flossing every night before you go to bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #2: Dental Implants Have a 95% Success Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true; dental implants have an impressive success rate of 95%. Not only that, but it\u2019s even higher among patients who don\u2019t smoke. So, if you want to enjoy a complete, healthy, and strong smile both now and decades from now, dental implants are a great choice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #3: Dental Implants Stimulate Your Jawbone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While traditional dental bridges get support from the surrounding teeth and traditional dentures rest against your gums, dental implants get their strength from something else: your jawbone. That\u2019s why they are unmatched in durability and strength! Plus, the stimulation they provide helps prevent bone loss and preserve your youthful face shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #4: Dental Implants Can Be Cost-Effective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, patients experience a bit of sticker shock when they receive an estimate of the price of dental implants. However, they often end up being the most cost-effective tooth-replacement option because of their longevity (they can last for 30 years or more with proper care!). So, don\u2019t just consider the upfront price when making your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact #5: Dental Implants Can Restore Your Bite<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants don\u2019t just look great and feel great; they also can restore 70% or more of your chewing ability. That means you no longer have to stick to soft, bland foods like plain yogurt and oatmeal. Instead, you can enjoy a varied, well-balanced diet filled with meals that nourish your body and benefit your oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in learning more about dental implants \u2013 whether it\u2019s about the treatment process, whether or not you\u2019re a candidate, or the cost \u2013 don\u2019t hesitate to reach out to your dentist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
