If you\u2019ve lost teeth over the years, you likely know what dental implants<\/a> are. Namely, they\u2019re prosthetics that have the power to restore your full smile! Still, perhaps you\u2019d like to learn more before deciding on treatment. After all, having the right details will let you settle if implants are right for you. Fortunately enough, your local Carrolton dentist can help things along. To that end, here are five noteworthy facts about dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Implants Have a Stellar Success Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Implants are highly successful in the long term compared to dentures or bridges. In fact, their success rate ten years after placement is over ninety-five percent!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This stellar effectiveness stems from the implants\u2019 materials. Their titanium bases, for instance, let them fuse with your jaw to ensure steadiness and security. Meanwhile, their porcelain surfaces allow them to blend seamlessly with your other teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implants are Decay-Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being artificial, implants won\u2019t suffer from tooth decay or cavities. Bacterial acids don\u2019t erode them as they would tooth enamel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, this fact doesn\u2019t mean implants don\u2019t need care. Without proper cleaning, you could suffer a tooth infection or gum disease \u2013 conditions that result in implant failure. Therefore, remember to brush the prosthetics twice daily and floss them once daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implants Restore Your Bite Force<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Initially, you may want implants just to give yourself a full smile. However, these prosthetic teeth will also do much to restore your bite\u2019s strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, losing teeth affects more than your looks. Without all your chompers, your jaw will degrade and lose much of its bite force. Fortunately, implants stimulate bone growth and return your bite\u2019s former vigor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implants Require Dietary Awareness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the long run, implants let you eat a wide range of foods. That said, you should avoid certain kinds while they\u2019re still fusing with your jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider hard and crunchy items, for instance. Chewing chips, pretzels, and similar items would delay or halt implant fusion. Such foods could even cause the restorations to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the fusion takes place, try to eat softer things instead. You can return to your former diet after the implants are fully secured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implants Can Be Relatively Inexpensive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps surprisingly, implants can be rather cost-effective compared to other treatments. That\u2019s especially true when the alternative is salvaging an overly decayed or damaged tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While implants may have a high upfront price, they\u2019re an excellent investment overall. The restorations can last for decades with proper care, ensuring you pay little for repairs or replacements. In contrast, dentures and bridges only work for a few years and involve many follow-up fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given these facts about dental implants, you can see treatment is worthwhile. So, book a visit with your local dentist soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
