If you have damaged or missing teeth or, ill-fitting or loose dentures, you might feel self-conscious and avoid smiling as much as possible. But… it doesn’t have to be that way!

If you have multiple teeth that need replacing, you may have considered dentures – even though you know they’re uncomfortable, difficult to care for, and don’t last long. Maybe you’ve been considering dental implants, but you’re just not sure if they’re the right option for you.

Let us answer some questions you might have about dental implants. Hopefully, it will help you make an informed decision that you’ll feel good about – whether you have just one tooth to replace or all your teeth!

Here are some facts about dental implants:

• Dental implants are a long-lasting solution and on average, they can last 25 years or longer… making them a great permanent solution for missing or damaged teeth.
• Dental implants are virtually pain-free and require no downtime. You’ll have zero downtime with a dental implant procedure. The discomfort level has been compared to getting a filling. While you may experience some minor swelling in the first few days, it can be easily controlled with over-the-counter pain medicine.
• Dental implants are better than bridges or dentures. They last longer. They’re more comfortable. And they don’t damage any of your surrounding teeth, unlike bridges. They also fit into your mouth just like your natural tooth would… while dentures have been reported to be uncomfortable and look fake.
• Dental implants are cosmetically appealing. They look natural and they are professionally matched to your current tooth color, so they blend right in with your natural teeth… giving you a full, confident smile.
• Dental implants are comfortable. Because the appliance mimics your tooth’s natural root, dental implants are very comfortable and feel just like your natural teeth in your mouth. After the procedure is complete, you’ll forget you even have them!
• Dental implants are surprisingly affordable. Your dental implants will likely last a lifetime. You can expect to pay only a few thousand per tooth. Most reputable practices offer affordable payment plans that make them even more affordable. And… depending on the reason for the implant, some insurance may even cover the procedure!
