Unlike dentures and bridges, these restorations are surgically placed directly in your jaw and eventually fuse with the bone to become a more permanent part of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They tend to be stronger and longer-lasting as a result, but you might hesitate to proceed with this treatment if you\u2019re functioning under misconceptions about it. With that in mind, continue reading to learn about 3 myths about dental implants you shouldn\u2019t believe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #1: They Will Look Unnatural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re worried that your new teeth will stick out like a sore thumb, you can thankfully set your concerns aside. The post that\u2019s inserted in your jaw is capped with a restoration, such as a dental crown, bridge, or dentures, depending on the number of teeth that went missing, which are made from resilient, tooth-colored materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, your dentist can provide a custom porcelain prosthetic carefully crafted to match the size, shape, and tone of your enamel, delivering beautiful results that blend in seamlessly. Plus, this is the only treatment that\u2019s firmly rooted in your jawbone, meaning it looks and functions more like natural teeth than other potential solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #2: They\u2019ll Develop Cavities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting dental implants involves an investment of personal time and resources, and you might hesitate to proceed if you\u2019re convinced that your new teeth will develop disease or decay like the ones you lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, these prosthetics aren\u2019t made from the same organic materials, so they don\u2019t get cavities. However, you must clean your mouth consistently to prevent bacteria from penetrating the site, which can potentially cause infections, such as peri-implantitis, the leading cause of failure. This can be avoided by brushing and flossing twice daily to remove plaque and bacteria that contribute to many common oral issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #3: I Waited Too Long to Get Them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that your jaw starts thinning after teeth fall out because there are fewer roots to stimulate new bone growth each time you bite down? If left untreated for too long, this degenerative process can eventually lead to additional tooth loss, as well as sunken-looking cheeks, a protruding chin, and more facial wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting dental implants helps preserve your jawbone, but if it\u2019s been a while since your teeth went missing, you might worry your mouth isn\u2019t strong enough to support your new teeth. Thankfully, it\u2019s not necessarily too late! Some patients may require an additional bone graft or other preliminary services to improve their dental health, after which they can proceed with the implant procedure successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure whether you\u2019re a good candidate for these lifelike replacement teeth, you can learn more by scheduling an appointment with your provider!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. John J.
