Odds are you\u2019re aware that they\u2019re the closest thing to recreating your original teeth because they replace the tooth roots in the jawbone. However, if that\u2019s basically the extent of your knowledge about dental implants, then you should continue reading to learn four surprising facts about this superior method of tooth replacement!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Dental Implants Won\u2019t Get Cavities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implant posts are made of titanium and the prosthetic teeth on top of them are made from porcelain. Both of these materials are cavity-proof, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can neglect your oral hygiene! Any natural teeth that you have left might still decay unless you continue to brush and floss twice a day. Not to mention, you might develop gum disease, which is the most common cause of dental implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. You Can Eat Practically Any Food with Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentures are notorious for frequently shifting out of place, making it frustratingly difficult or impossible to eat certain foods. With implants, that won\u2019t be an issue! Since your new teeth will be anchored onto posts that are embedded in your jaw, you\u2019ll never have to worry about them slipping. You\u2019ll also have nearly all of the chewing strength you had before losing your teeth, allowing you to dig into pretty much anything on your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. You\u2019ll Look Younger with Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Jawbone loss often follows tooth loss. The teeth\u2019s roots strengthen the underlying bone every time you bite or chew, and the bone naturally loses that stimulation once the teeth go missing. As the jawbone weakens, your facial tissues also lose support; you might end up with wrinkles around your mouth that make you look much older than you really are! By replacing the roots, dental implants can prevent and even reverse jawbone loss, keeping your jaw strong and your face youthful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Dental Implants Can Actually Save You Money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that dental implants carry a higher price tag than dentures or dental bridges alone. However, remember that dental implants are an investment in both your smile <em>and<\/em> your health. Since they can potentially last for several decades, you shouldn\u2019t need to pay to get them replaced every few years like you would with traditional tooth replacements. As a result, you\u2019ll end up saving more money overall. You\u2019ll also have a healthier mouth and jawbone, helping you avoid oral health problems and the costs of treating them. And, of course, you can\u2019t put a price on the confidence that comes with a beautiful, healthy smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there\u2019s more to dental implants than meets the eye. To learn more about this revolutionary tooth loss treatment, reach out to your dentist today and schedule a consultation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.framinghamdentalgroup.com\/about.html\">Framingham Dental Group<\/a>, we combine state-of-the-art technology with small-town customer service to deliver a dentistry experience like no other.
