The idea that dental implants require a lot of maintenance or that they often fall out are simply not true. Keep reading to learn 5 true facts about implants that you should know.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implants Match Natural Teeth in Strength<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Implants are the only dental restoration option that can match your natural teeth in strength. Eating with an implant allows for an essentially identical experience to eating with your natural teeth. An added bonus is that implants are also cavity-resistant! When you get this restoration, a titanium post is inserted into your jawbone and topped with a porcelain crown.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implants are Easy to Care For<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An implant procedure typically takes about 6 to 9 months to properly heal. During this time, you will need to be aware of your diet. Crunchy or chewy food can damage your implant as your jawbone heals around it. But once your implant has fully healed, there are no special care requirements. You simply care for your it as you would your natural teeth by brushing twice a day for two minutes and flossing regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implants Can Strengthen Your Jawbone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your tooth falls out or is extracted, the bone in that area can begin to recede. When you aren\u2019t able to chew in a specific area where you lost your tooth, the lack of stimulation can lead to bone loss. This can occur within as little as 6 weeks of losing your tooth, so having a plan in place is key. Replacing your missing tooth with an implant helps to fortify your jaw and provides enough stimulation to keep it strong.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implant Surgery is Not Complicated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many hear the word \u201csurgery\u201d and immediately imagine a complicated process, but an implant procedure is a very routine treatment. Advanced technology a better understanding of at-home dental care truly makes the difference in this restoration. On average, implants have a success rate that falls between 90 percent and 98 percent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Implants Can Provide a Renewed Confidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have spent time trying to eat, speak or even smile without being reminded of your missing teeth, you are probably aware of how troubling these tasks can be. Once your smile has been restored, you can laugh, smile and speak without worries. Don\u2019t forget about being able to eat normally again!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making the decision to get dental implants is not only an investment in your smile, but also an investment in yourself. If you\u2019re not sure as to whether you\u2019d be a good candidate, your dentist can help you determine whether implants might be right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. James Kramer loves every aspect of dentistry, especially helping patients achieve their dental goals and maintaining them for years to come.
