Would like to find out more about Dental Implants?

Dental implants can replace your missing teeth and give you the smile you always wanted. If you want a natural-looking restoration that can last up to 30 years, then the implant procedure could be the right option for you.

Myth #1: Dental implant surgery is painful and invasive

You may be under the mistaken impression that dental implants are painful and intrusive. Let’s dispel that myth! Dental implants have come a long way, with recent technology making the procedure painless and quick. You’ll be totally numbed with local anaesthesia so there will be no discomfort whatsoever during your dental implantation process. Most people recover very quickly, too!

Myth #2: They take a long time to heal

We get it. When you’re considering dental implants, the prospect of a long recovery period can be daunting. But don’t worry!

While the healing process for dental implants is a little different than that of other procedures, it’s not as long or difficult as you may think. In fact, most patients do not feel pain during this time and are able to return to their regular activities almost immediately after their implant is placed.

The idea behind the healing process is that titanium must bond with your jawbone and gums in order for your implant to be successful—and that takes time. Most people will need three to six months for this healing process, but some cases may require longer or shorter periods of time depending on the patient’s needs and health status—and because everyone heals differently!

Myth #3: Dental implants are not worth it

Dental implants are a great investment. They’re not only long-lasting, but they can also save you money in the long run.

Here’s why:

1. Implants last longer than other options. If you’re worried about your implant breaking or becoming loose, don’t be! Implants are made of titanium (which is stronger than steel) and have been proven to last for up to 30 years, even if you chew on them regularly.
2. Implants are worth it because they won’t break or come loose, so you don’t have to worry about replacing them often like you would with dentures or bridges. And since they aren’t removable like dentures, they don’t slip out of place when you eat something hard like steak or ice cream!
3. Implants also cost less than other options over time because they last longer than other options—and since they’re permanent, there’s no need to replace them as often!

Myth #4: They take special care

People need to follow regular oral hygiene routines with dental implants. That means brushing and flossing daily. It also means patients should keep visiting the dentist for regular checkups, professional cleanings and oral exams. In comparison, implants require much less specialized care than a dental bridge or dentures.

The truth is: Dental implants do require special care, but not as much as you might think! Yes, you’ll still need to brush your teeth twice per day and floss regularly to prevent plaque buildup. But unlike other types of restorations, like bridges or dentures, implants don’t have to be removed every time you eat (more on this below). So while they do take more attention than traditional fillings or crowns, it’s nothing that can’t be incorporated into your daily routine!

Myth #5: Dental implants do not look natural

The best thing is that they look, feel, and act just like your natural teeth. Your dentists will ensure the crown matches your natural smile and tooth colour so that nobody would know you’ve had a tooth replacement procedure done. The crown is also stain-resistant to help keep your smile looking fresh and healthy.

The truth – dental implants

Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. They’re also one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the world. But there are many misconceptions that can make you think twice about getting them done.
