As one of the most comprehensive and stable methods for rebuilding missing teeth, dental implants come with a wide range of benefits for a person’s smile. Even so, some people might still be worried about the safety of the treatment, given that it involves oral surgery. The good news is that most concerns tend to be due to certain misunderstandings. Read on to learn about some of the reasons you should feel confident about dental implants.
Professional Dental Implant Materials
In most instances, these metal posts are constructed using titanium or zirconia, which are both biocompatible and can more easily integrate with a person’s jawbone. Not only can they fuse properly with bone tissue, but they are also less likely to lead to an allergic reaction or even rejection. Titanium was found to be biocompatible decades ago, and it’s one of the most reliable materials to use in the world of dentistry.
Infection & the Aftercare Process
In regard to surgery, one of the most concerning things is infection or major complications following the procedure. Fortunately, your dental team will do everything in their power to lower the chance of problems and disease, especially since they’ll be using advanced technology and techniques for the process. On top of that, your dentist will provide you with post-op instructions so that your recovery is as smooth as possible. This typically includes practicing oral hygiene, sticking to a nutritional soft-food diet, and visiting your dentist for follow-up appointments.
High Treatment Success
Although dental implants have an exceedingly small risk of failure, they usually boast an incredibly high chance of success. If placed by an experienced professional, you can generally expect these metal posts to have a chance of 95% or more to work, even if it’s been 10 years since the procedure. Once osseointegration is completed and you maintain your dental implants with proper care, you can expect your results to last several decades.
With this tooth replacement treatment, you can generally expect a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for rebuilding your smile. Don’t hesitate to consult your dentist about the process, as they’ll be glad to discuss what you can expect from the procedure and your results!
