\"Smiling<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Did you know that over 170 million Americans are struggling with tooth loss? If you\u2019re one of them, then there is good news: you can have a healthy, complete, and strong smile again thanks to dental implants<\/a>! If you are considering this tooth-replacement solution for yourself, then read on to learn five facts about them that may surprise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Dental Implants Are Cavity-Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although dental implants are custom-made to look and feel just like your natural teeth, they are artificial. As a result, they cannot decay! Of course, that doesn\u2019t mean you no longer have to brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash. After all, gum disease is one of the leading causes of dental implant failure. So, it\u2019s still of the utmost importance that you commit to a solid oral hygiene regimen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Dental Implants Can Be Affordable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, patients get an estimate for dental implants and experience a bit of sticker shock. The reality is that \u2013 although it may not seem like it initially \u2013 dental implants can end up being the best choice for your smile and your wallet because of their lifespan and the fact that they are the only tooth-replacement solution that stimulates your jawbone (which helps prevent further tooth loss).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Dental Implants Are Pretty Easy to Maintain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the many benefits of dental implants is that you don\u2019t need to schedule frequent adjustment appointments, adopt cumbersome oral hygiene regimens, or buy special dental care products. Instead, you can keep them in pristine condition with the same best practices you use to keep your natural teeth healthy (i.e., brushing twice a day, flossing daily, rinsing with an antimicrobial mouthwash consistently).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Dental Implants Can Last for 30 Years or More<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While dental bridges and traditional dentures can last for 5-15 years, dental implants can last for 30 years or more! The key to making yours last is committing to good oral hygiene habits and breaking bad ones. For example, you should come to our office every six months for a dental checkup and cleaning (even if you don\u2019t have any of your natural teeth left), and you shouldn\u2019t use tobacco products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Dental Implants Are Extremely Versatile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants aren\u2019t just state-of-the-art; they also are incredibly versatile. In addition to being able to replace one, a few, or an entire arch of missing teeth, they are custom-made for each patient to ensure they look great, feel natural, and function just as they should. So, no matter how minor or severe your tooth loss is, there\u2019s a good chance that dental implants are an option for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
