Myths About Implants
Drill Down to the Truth about Your Tooth
Before you can get your implant issues straightened out, it helps to get the facts straight…
MYTH: Implants Must Be Painful
Nonsense! During implant placements, local anesthesia is provided to keep you as comfortable as possible and ensure a perfectly pain-free procedure.
MYTH: Rejection of Implants is Common
Actually, you can reject that thought. The success rate of implants is approximately 95% to 97%.
MYTH: You have Soft Bone. Implants won’t Work
“Soft Bone” is a misunderstood and misrepresented term often associated with periodontal disease. Not only isn’t the bone soft, it is quite common to replace teeth lost through periodontal conditions with implants.
MYTH: I Heard Implants Frequently Fall Out
Implants are even stronger and more secure than natural teeth because they literally integrate with the bone. Rarely, due to systemic diseases, lack of hygiene or badly designed restorations (crowns), fall out may occur. If you know someone who claims his or her implants are falling out, there is something else going on, so please refer them to us.
MYTH: Implants are Costly
That depends on whether it will be more costly in the long run if you need an implant and don’t get it. Regardless of cost, it is also important to consider the comfort, peace of mind, ease of maintenance and longevity this solution offers, plus the natural look and feel of the final outcome.
