On one hand, it makes knowledge easily accessible to a wide audience. On the other hand, it\u2019s not always true! Even for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robisondentalgroup.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>, which have been used to replace teeth since 1965, there are several myths that continue to float around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know the truth behind dental implants, keep reading. There\u2019s plenty to like about this dental restoration, so it\u2019s well-worth the scroll!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implant Treatment is Safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To place this incredibly tooth-like prosthetic in your smile gap, a trained dentist or oral surgeon has to surgically anchor a titanium post to your jawbone. This may or may not sound like a good idea to you. However, dental implant treatments have a 95% success rate for a reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your natural teeth actually anchor down to your jaw as well, just with dental roots instead, so dentists know this design works well. Plus, titanium is highly biocompatible. Your jawbone will be pleased with the material and will even start to grow around the post to fully integrate with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Restorations Are Also Cosmetic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest assured; you won\u2019t have to worry about your dental implant attracting the wrong kind of attention. Dentistry has advanced to the point where almost all restorations can be customized to match your smile\u2019s color and shape. After you complete your dental implant treatment, no one will be able to tell you have a fake tooth in your lineup!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants are <em>Not<\/em> Better Than Natural Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some enthusiasts look at dental implants as some sort of emerging cybertechnology or improvement upon natural teeth. Make no mistake, they are durable, stain-resistant, don\u2019t wiggle or slip, and retain up to 90% of your original bite power. However, they\u2019re simply not better than healthy pearly whites. Real teeth still set the dental standard \u2013 after all, they retain 100% of your bite power!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re An Easy-To-Maintain Replacement Option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants mimic natural teeth so closely in function, placement, and style that you can brush and floss them in a similar fashion. There\u2019s no soaking or removal involved. Simply use a soft-bristled toothbrush to clean your teeth twice per day and use your favorite type of floss to weed out the in-between crannies at least once per day. You can even visit your dentist twice a year for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robisondentalgroup.com\/cleaning-and-checkup.html\">preventative care<\/a> to help them last longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, dental implants are an effective and safe tooth replacement option. You\u2019ll likely be impressed and overjoyed with their superior stability and comfort. There\u2019s nothing to indicate patients will be able to have cyborg teeth anytime soon, but in the meantime, you can confidently benefit from all the advantages dental implants offer to those needing a dental restoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.robisondentalgroup.com\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. J.D.
