If you\u2019ve been considering dental implants<\/a>, you may already know that they are permanent tooth restorations that both look and feel like your natural teeth. But there\u2019s a lot that many people don\u2019t know about this life-changing treatment. Here are five surprising facts about them that may make your choice to get them a whole lot easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They Can\u2019t Get Cavities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While your dental implants may look and feel just like real teeth, there\u2019s one important thing that unlike real teeth they can\u2019t do: get cavities. That\u2019s because they\u2019re made of porcelain, which is not biological and thus cannot get cavities, decay, or infection. You can still get cavities in your remaining real teeth, and in rare cases you can break an implant crown, but you\u2019ll never need to worry about cavities in your prosthetic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Have a 95% Success Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may have heard that dental implants can fail, meaning that the implant itself does not successfully integrate with your jawbone. The good news is that while yes, this is always a possibility, it is very rare. In fact, today\u2019s dental implants boast a 95 percent success rate. That means that the odds are good that with proper care, yours will last a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Guard Against Bone Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to replacing missing tooth crowns, dental implants act as a replacement for missing tooth roots, too. This is especially important because these provide important stimulation to your jawbone that not only prevents it from deteriorating, but it also keeps your remaining healthy teeth in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Nearly as Strong as the Teeth They Replace<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is said that dental implants can restore up to 70 percent of your biteforce, which is much more than any other type of restoration. However, in many cases your dental implants may provide greater biteforce than your natural teeth did, especially if they were badly damaged or decayed prior to replacing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Easier to Care for Than Dentures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, a major perk of dental implants is their care. Unlike dentures, you never remove them, so you can clean them just as you do real teeth, with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and by flossing daily. Just be sure to use a non-abrasive toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush, and they\u2019ll stay looking clean and beautiful for a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
