When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants<\/a> are the name of the game! For decades, these awesome little implants have been helping patients with their smiles. They\u2019re able to fully replicate the look, feel, and functionality of your missing pearly whites\u2014and quite well! However, not all dental implants are created equally. Some are made from cheaper and discounted materials, and they actually pose a threat to your oral health! Keep reading to learn more about five of the dangers of opting for cheaper implants and how they can potentially lead to some serious health complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Implant Breakage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It might sound appealing to save some money by opting for cheaper implants, but cheaper doesn\u2019t mean better\u2014especially when it comes to dental implants. If your implants are made from inadequate materials , they can easily fracture or break under the pressure of biting or chewing. When this happens, your bone might not have enough strength and mass leftover to support a new abutment screw; and even if you can, you\u2019ll still have to pay for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Nerve Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cheap dental implants can also lead to nerve damage. Research from the King\u2019s College Dental Institute shows that patients who already suffer from nerve injury will experience even more pain due to their implants; not to mention difficulty when eating, talking, or simply moving their jaws. This can also lead to needing additional, more expensive treatment in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Integration Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your implants will fail if they\u2019re unable to properly fuse with your jawbone, plain and simple. That said, in many cases cheaper implants can\u2019t properly integrate with the bone, and the risk of implant failure greatly rises, coupled with the risk of infection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Hyperplasia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hyperplasia, also known as inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia, is an irritation that develops as a result of poorly fitting dental implants. Swelling and excess tissue growth around the affected area can occur. This condition is typically painless and benign, but surgery is usually the only way to properly address it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Damage to Adjacent Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opting for cheaper implants can also jeopardize your remaining natural teeth! Your abutment teeth are in danger too if your cheap implants become damaged. This will ultimately lead to more teeth needing to be replaced or repaired which will translate into a higher overall price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re thinking about getting dental implants to address your missing teeth, don\u2019t settle for the cheaper, discounted ones. They might save you a little money at first, but they can easily lead to other problems that will hurt your mouth and wallet down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
