July 29, 2016 | Dental Implants,
Let’s admit it. Even the words “dental implants” sound intimidating. In fact for some, dental anything is a bit frightening. This is exactly why Dublin Corners Dental focuses on their patients’ comfort, concerns, and desires, first.
Known for her work with dental implants, Marjan Shaghasi, DDS is glad to provide some simple dental implant FAQs below, to both calm your nerves and hopefully answer a few questions.
What are Dental Implants?
– Dental implants are permanent replacements for damaged or missing teeth. These titanium posts are placed in the jawbone beneath your tooth.
Will Dental Implants Fall Out?
– Dental implants fuse to your jawbone, which makes their lifetime as long as 40 years! They remain one of the most stable and durable tooth-replacement options.
Are Dental Implants Hard to Take Care of?
– This is the great news! Unlike dentures and bridges, dental implants need only be cared for like your natural teeth. Brush, floss, and keep the surrounding gums healthy.
Do Dental Implants Affect My Health?
– Yes, in many good ways! Unlike missing teeth, dental implants help maintain the natural shape of both your face and smile. They prevent gum deterioration due to tooth-loss and will not wear the healthy teeth nearby.
How Can I Find Out if Dental Implants are Right For Me?
– This is what the team at Dublin Corners Dental is here for. For more information and to ask any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. In fact, if you are ready to schedule an appointment, you can do that right here.
