With over 3 million patients worldwide and an\nadditional 500,000 dental implants placed each year, this leading restorative\nprocedure grew by over 6% between 2019 and 2020 alone. However, despite its\npopularity, there is still a lot of misinformation out there about them that\nholds patients back from opting for this treatment. Therefore, an implant\ndentist is debunking four common myths!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #1:\nBridges Are Superior to Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For patients with one or more missing teeth, bridges\nand dental implants are the two most common treatment options. While bridges\nare both effective and durable, it is important to know that the procedure\nrequires the adjacent teeth to be shaved down to properly support its weight. Conversely,\ndental implants preserve the structure of your natural teeth while fixing gaps\nin your smile and restoring your bite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #2:\nDental Implants Are Painful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, many patients who are good candidates for\ndental implants hesitate to move forward due to fear of pain. However, thanks\nto innovations in dentistry and technology, dental implants are a relatively\npainless treatment option! Plus, your dentist will use a local anesthetic\nduring the procedure and provide you with appropriate pain medication during\nthe healing period to ensure you are comfortable throughout the entire process.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #3:\nDental Implants Look Different Than Your Natural Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Centuries prior, copper pegs, seashells, and animal\nteeth were used to fix gaps in a person\u2019s smile. Fortunately, dental implants\nhave come a long way since then! Today, they are completely customized to match\nthe size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. That way, you are left with a\nseamless finish and flawless smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #4:\nBuying Bargain Implants Is Okay If You\u2019re on a Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to your smile, there is no room for\nerror. While it can be tempting to opt for a budget-friendly alternative that\npromises the same results at a fraction of the cost, it is important to stay\naway from inserting cheap materials into your jawbone. Not only can it lead to\nimplant failure, but it can also result in pricier cosmetic and restorative\ntreatment down the line. Therefore, always start with the professional-grade materials!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants can be a life-changing restorative treatment\nfor those with one or more missing teeth. To join the millions of patients who\nhave fixed gaps in their smile and restored their bite, talk to your dentist\nabout dental implants today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the\nPractice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Dolfield Dental, top-notch dentistry,\npatient-centered care, and a comprehensive array of services come together to\ncreate a dental experience unlike any other.
