    The Pros and Cons of Dental Implants

    August 12, 2014

    Everyone loves a bright beautiful smile, and most people agree that it’s an important social asset, and the key to making a good first impression. If you are one of the ten percent of people over the age of 65 with missing teeth, cosmetic dental implants are a strong option to consider to get your smile looking movie-star beautiful. A dental implant is placed into the bone socket of the missing tooth, eventually becoming secured to the jaw when the bone heals and grows around the implant. It might sound scary, but we’ve weighed the pros and cons of the procedure for you.

    Pros
    Permanent –cosmetic dental implants Cosmetic dental implants can last for the rest of your life, as they are meant to last for decades.

    Cost-Effective – Over time, the money you save from this one-time, permanent procedure makes it a better option that dentures.

    Low-Maintenance – Dental implants can be cared for like natural teeth, there is no need to take them in or out.

    They Feel Natural – Cosmetic dental implants are comfortable, and will feel and look like natural teeth, allowing you to smile and eat with confidence.

    95 Percent Success Rate – You read that right: The vast majority of dental implant procedures are completely successful.

    Cons
    Expensive – The cost of your dental implants can be very high. The cosmetic dentistry costs for implants are higher than bridges and dentures.

    Breakage – If you don’t have the best cosmetic dentist, the procedure can result in breakage of the implant within the jaw, or the tooth crown that covers it.

    Pain – Since this is a permanent solution, the procedure is a little more in-depth than other dental procedures, and therefore can result in more pain during recovery.

    Nerve or Sinus Damage- The area the implants are being inserted into interferes with nerve and sinus function, and can result in pain and discomfort, or permanent damage.

    Infection – Infection can result if the implant breaks, if the patient is a smoker, or does not make dental hygiene a priority.

    Cosmetic dentistry procedures are always an important matter to consider, and you want to make sure you are well-informed before going in for the procedure. After all, it is your mouth, and you want to make sure you make the decision, and find the solution, that is right for you.

    I HAD TOP DENTAL IMPLANT. THE SURGICAL EXPERIENCE AND PLACEMENT WAS FANTASTIC. DR RECEVEUR AND HIS STAFF ARE VERY CARING. MY ONE COMPLAINT IS THAT YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COME IN FOR AN ANNUAL "EXAM" AND XRAYS TO MAINTAIN THE WARRANTY BUT THEY DO NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE. THEY DO NOT GIVE ANY DISCOUNTS THAT INSURANCE WOULD NORMALLY GIVE AS THEY ARE OUT OF NETWORK, SO END UP PAYING MUCH HIGHER RATES. OTHER THAN THIS ONE AREA OF CONFUSION I WOULD RATE THEIR OFFICE AS EXCEPTIONAL.

    Love going here! Staff is extra friendly and kind. Of course it is difficult to talk with your mouth being worked on, but the dental technician you see remembers the things you all talk about at the 6 month appointments, and is always so friendly as well. They also give you really practical and simple ways to improve your dental hygiene, and i have started brushing everyday now because of their guidance. Could not recommend them more!
