If you talk to any dentist about tooth replacement options, you probably won\u2019t hear the end of how incredible dental implants<\/a> are. There\u2019s a reason they come recommended so highly; they\u2019re unbelievably durable, and mitigate the bone loss that\u2019s often associated with other tooth replacement options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some people have incorrect ideas about dental implants that make it hard for them to believe how good they are. If you\u2019re curious, here are some of the most common myths about dental implants that simply aren\u2019t true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Getting Dental Implants is Painful<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that requires surgery, meaning that some people are a little concerned that getting them will be painful. Fortunately, that isn\u2019t the case at all. During the surgery itself, your dentist will use powerful anesthetics to numb your mouth completely, meaning that the procedure will be 100% painless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as aftercare, any discomfort you feel should be easily addressed by over-the-counter pain relievers. If your dentist thinks that you need them, they\u2019ll also be happy to prescribe you prescription pain medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People Will Know I Have Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike dentures, which can fit a little loosely and have a small seam where they meet the gums, dental implants are connected directly to the jaw. As a result, they both look and feel incredibly realistic. The porcelain used in the crown is also the standard for dental restorations of all kinds and can blend in seamlessly with the rest of your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is that, unless you mention it, people probably won\u2019t notice that you have a dental implant at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I Won\u2019t be Able to Eat My Favorite Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you first get your dental implants and they\u2019re still healing, it\u2019s often recommended that you exclude hard or crunchy foods from your diet. However, once they\u2019re at full strength, dental implants are strong enough to chew through just about any food you\u2019d like! While it never hurts to adopt a tooth-friendly diet, your dental implants don\u2019t need to be babied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, dental implants are remarkably powerful, and the procedure for getting them is simpler than you\u2019d think. Keep that in mind the next time your dentist tells you how impressive they are; it turns out dental implants are just as good as they say!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
