Fixed bridges, partials, and dentures have been used for decades to treat tooth loss; however, over 500,000 Americans annually are choosing another path. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.andersondentalgahanna.com\/dental-implants.html\">Dental implants<\/a> are unlike any other treatment because they are a nearly perfect replica of your real teeth. While you\u2019ve likely heard about their benefits, they are a big investment. Don\u2019t feel apprehensive about the revolutionary procedure. You can feel confident about the road ahead by asking your dentist 3 important questions during your dental implant consultation.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. How are dental implants different?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional dental prosthetics closely mimic real teeth in terms of aesthetics and function; however, they will always have one significant disadvantage. They only recreate the portions of the teeth above the gum line, so they can\u2019t stop common issues associated with missing teeth, like decreased jawbone density. Not to mention, they need to be replaced often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental implant resolves frequent complaints about conventional prosthetics because it rebuilds the entire tooth structure, including the root. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a root, which supports a custom-made restoration that\u2019s attached using an abutment. You\u2019ll enjoy an identical recreation of your natural tooth using a solution that preserves your jawbone and can last for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. How much do dental implants cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are more expensive than traditional treatments, but for good reason. Although you\u2019ll initially pay more, they are the most cost-effective because they can last for a lifetime with the proper care. By replacing the roots, they prevent common issues caused by tooth loss to lower your overall oral health expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since every smile is unique, various factors influence the amount you\u2019ll pay, such as the number of teeth you are treating and if you need any preparatory work, like periodontal therapy. Your implant dentist will create a personalized estimate and discuss your payment options, like using your dental insurance or third-party financing. They\u2019ll help you find the solutions you need to restore your smile with no added financial strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How long do dental implants last?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are the most reliable treatment for one or more missing teeth. With over a 95% success rate, they are proven to last for 30 years or longer with the right care. You can ensure your investment thrives by committing to your oral hygiene at home and visiting your dentist at least twice a year for a cleaning and checkup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a proactive approach to your oral health and the support of a qualified dentist, you\u2019ll never need to worry about your missing teeth again.
