Of course, the hype isn\u2019t just about fun information. It\u2019s about the practical aspects, too. Dive into these five dental implant facts to see for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. They Fuse with Your Bone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a process called osseointegration, dental implants actually integrate with your jawbone. This design has three major benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increased stability: once fully integrated, they\u2019re not going anywhere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved bite power: more security means they can handle more pressure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bone loss prevention: they stimulate your jawbone, keeping it from deteriorating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This process might sound worrisome, but natural teeth are already doing it \u2013 just with dental roots instead of a titanium post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. Foodies Love Them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants retain 80% of your bite force. In comparison, dentures can only offer 30%. But what do these numbers mean for you? While you\u2019ll have to stick to soft foods during recovery to ensure successful osseointegration, you\u2019ll eventually be able to eat almost any food you want. Yes, even the crunchy kind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. They\u2019re Decay-Resistant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since they\u2019re inorganic, dental implants can\u2019t technically get cavities. That doesn\u2019t mean you can avoid oral hygiene without consequences, though! Besides potentially getting afflicted with horrible morning breath, you could also still develop gum disease. So stay vigilant, and continue brushing twice a day and flossing once per day. Oh, and don\u2019t forget your biannual cleanings at your dentist\u2019s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. They Get An A+ For Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not many medical solutions can boast a 98% success rate. But dental implants can! This is due to a combination of smart design, bone fusion, and diligent dental work. You see, before proceeding with placement, your dentist will examine your mouth to make sure you can support the implants. Cavities will be treated, gum disease will be removed, and if necessary, a bone graft can strengthen your jawbone. Overall, you can be reasonably assured of successful treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5. You\u2019ll Get More Bang for Your Buck<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that as far as immediate costs go, dental implants are one of the more expensive options. However, other solutions can\u2019t stop your jawbone from deteriorating over time. As it changes shape, your teeth and bite can become misaligned, causing pricey complications. Plus, dental implants are more durable than traditional dentures or bridges. In the long run, you\u2019re likely to spend less on repairs and adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Impressed by these five facts? Many patients are. The advantages definitely don\u2019t go unnoticed, and many appreciate the increased quality of life dental implants enable them to enjoy. If all of that sounds good to you, go ahead and call your dentist. They\u2019ll gladly get you started with a consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyfarmsdental.com\/\">Beverly Farms Dental<\/a> wants to provide the best possible oral care for our patients.
