5 Important Facts About Our Dental Implants

January 23, 2017

Dr. Receveur here,

Today I want to share a few facts about dental implants. I use dental implants in my New Albany dental practice frequently. In my experience, dental implants are the ultimate way to secure dentures or to replace single missing teeth. Implants are versatile, strong, and allow you to eat the food you love again.

Here are 5 important facts about dental implants you need to know if you have missing teeth or removable dentures.

1. Dental implants nearly match the power of natural teeth.
Many patients with missing teeth believe that removable dentures are the best way to replace missing teeth. Not true! Removable dentures are mostly aesthetic options, but they cannot give your the function you need. If you’re looking for function, dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth. Here are the facts about dentures and dental implants. Dentures provide only 25 to 50 percent of the power of natural teeth, while dental implants can give you about 90 percent of the biting power of natural teeth.

2. Dental implants placement is highly successful.
Some people assume that advanced dental treatments like placing dental implants have a low success rate. That’s not the case. In fact, dental implants are one of the most successful tooth replacement options out there. To be a great candidate for dental implants, you need to be in good general health and have enough jaw bone density. We have found that dental implants can be placed with a more than 95 percent success rate.

3. Dental implants stop jaw bone recession.
Unlike other tooth replacement options like dentures and bridges, dental implants can stopped jaw bone recession. The reason is that dental implant merge with the jaw bone. Our implants are made from titanium, a biocompatible metal in which bone will form around. There is a short healing process, but once the implant and bone merge, you’ll have a stable foundation for your permanent teeth.

4. Dental implants can save you money down the road.
Dental implants are a major financial investment — there is no doubt about that. But consider the point above: dental implants are extremely successful and can last for a lifetime with proper care. Dentures can be a major hassle on your wallet. The dentures often slide around in the mouth and warp or break. The average pair of dentures only last about five to eight years. Once you replace dentures a few times, you will have spent several thousands of dollars.

5. Dental implants can save your life.
Earlier in this post, I told you that dentures do not come close to matching the power of dental implants or natural teeth. Having removable dentures or having no teeth makes it nearly impossible to get the nutrition you need. In fact, studies have found that people without teeth can shave 10 years off their life. That’s a huge gamble to take, especially if you’re making a decision about replacement teeth solely based on the price.

I’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.

I recently had implants put in by Dr. Receveur. I was scheduled to have sedation that morning, but wasn't able to due to my sugar issues from diabetes. He assured me he would keep me comfortable so I agreed to go ahead with the procedure. He did just that, he kept me comfortable as promised and I didn't feel a thing. During the procedure he also talked to me the whole time explaining what he was doing, which also helped ease my anxiety. The entire staff there are so nice and informative, they can answer any questions you may have. All I can say is to anyone that is hesitant to have this procedure done, I honestly wish I would have had this done a long time ago! Dr. Receveur and his staff are AMAZING, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
