Dental implants<\/a> are an impressive restoration option that have many people talking. Normally all that attention would probably make you feel good about their reliability, but there\u2019s so much information you\u2019re having a hard time separating fact from fiction! What you need is a bonified dental implant know-it-all to step in and point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider your request filled. Here are four facts about dental implants that you can hang your hat on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1. They\u2019re More Powerful Than Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When people think of tooth replacements, they might picture a set of dentures cartoonishly stuck to an apple. Actually, dental implants are much stronger than their infamous cousin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With full dentures, you retain about 30% of your natural-toothed bite power. No wonder certain foods are more difficult to eat, right? With dental implants, on the other hand, you retain 90% of your bite power. That means meats, vegetables, and fruits are back on the menu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2. They Rock at Osseointegration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that the toothless parts of your jawbone recede over time? The longer you go without a tooth replacement, the more your jawbone shrinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, dental implants mimic the way natural teeth anchor to your jawbone. This convinces your jawbone that it still has a job to do, and it\u2019d better stick around to support your teeth. Eventually, it will fuse with your implants in a process called osseointegration. Once that happens, neither your bone nor your implants are going anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3. Technically, They Can\u2019t Develop Cavities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true! Since bacteria-fueled cavities decay organic teeth, and dental implants are not, in fact, organic, they technically can\u2019t get cavities. However, your gums are still natural! They\u2019ll contract gum disease if you skip out on your oral hygiene, so you still have to brush and floss your implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a two-for-one bonus fact, though: dental implants are easy to take care of. You don\u2019t have to remove them; simply brush twice per day and floss once a day.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4. Dental Implants Provide Unmatched Confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might be wondering how something subjective like confidence could be a dental implant fact. Well, actually, dental implants have a stunning 98% success rate! That means 98% of the time, patients can leave the dental office with trustworthy, secure prosthetics. So not only could you find confidence in your new, seamless smile, but also in the quality and effectiveness of this life-changing treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
