If so, then you\u2019re definitely choosing the best tooth replacement method! With their support, you\u2019ll be able to avoid further tooth loss as well as preserve a strong and youthful jaw. However, there seem to be plenty of stories about them that may create concerns. Keep reading to learn five common dental implant myths and why they aren\u2019t true. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #1: Dental Implants Are Painful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with any dental surgery, your dentist will likely use anesthetics or sedation therapy to numb your mouth and keep you relaxed. You may feel mild pressure during your procedure, but nothing more than that! Afterwards, you\u2019ll be one step closer to restoring your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #2: Dental Implants Are Expensive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial cost of dental implants will depend on your specific situation, whether you need one or several teeth replaced. One thing to keep in mind is the long-lasting benefits you\u2019ll receive from them. Unlike other restorations, like dentures or bridges, your dental implants can last you a lifetime with proper maintenance. This can help save you money in the long run, as you won\u2019t have to get adjustments or replacements often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #3: Dental Implants Are for Older People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as your jawbone is fully matured, which happens around your early 20s, you can be eligible for dental implants. Additionally, your dentist will check your gum, bone, and overall health to ensure you have a successful treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #4: My Favorite Foods Are Off the Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After a dental implant procedure, you\u2019ll have to allow the surgical site time to recover. This means you should avoid eating on that side of your mouth, or sticking to softer foods. Once you\u2019re healed and your dentist gives you the greenlight, you can go back to enjoying your favorite meals again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #5: Everyone Will Notice My Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since your dental implants will be anchored into your jawbone, you won\u2019t have to worry about your restorations slipping or falling off. And unless you tell others about your dental work, your implants will appear as natural as the rest of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you\u2019d like to fully restore your pearly whites and maintain a healthy jaw, you should definitely go for dental implants. Speak with your dentist if you\u2019re interested, and they\u2019ll be happy to give you the facts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Karina Aloian earned her dental doctorate from Midwestern University \u2013 Glendale and is a proud member of the American and Pennsylvania Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and Spear Education.
