dentalimplantcloseupAre you thinking that you would like to move forward with your plan of replacing the teeth missing in your smile with dental implants – but you are still extremely uncertain about certain aspects of implants? Rather than allowing your worries to get the best of your and sabotage an otherwise solid plan to restore your smile, we suggest you ask us whatever is on your mind. We would like to begin by providing you with some quick answers to common concerns. Then, we suggest you schedule an implant consultation with our practice.

Concerns About Implants

Concern: I’m concerned about how much money it will require for me to receive dental implants – I know that other prosthetics are less expensive, so is this really worth it?

Response: We suggest you take a look at the big picture if you are interested in implants. They will likely last for the remainder of your life without the need for replacement. They also offer exceptional stability. As a result, the are considered cost-effective in the long-term, while other prosthetics are considered budget-friendly in the short-term.

Concern: I’m not sure that I will have the time to take care of my dental implants. Is this going to require a complex change in my daily hygiene?

Response: You have nothing to worry about. Your implants are easy to care for, primarily because they are so similar to your natural teeth. Keep brushing your smile every day, keep flossing it every day, and keep scheduling appointments with us twice a year.

Concern: I’m worried that if I choose implants, the final product will feel too artificial.

Response: Fortunately, implants offer patients the closest replication to their natural smile that they can achieve. Because we implant the post that replaces your roots into your jaw tissue, it acts just like your natural roots (even contributing to keeping your jawbone stimulated and healthy). We will then restore the implants with beautiful, lifelike prosthetic teeth for a natural feel and appearance.
