Why You Shouldn’t be Afraid of Getting Dental Implants

Dec 22 • 1 minute read

Dental implants are one of the most secure and aesthetic restorations available in modern dentistry. Our team at Eola Dentistry is committed to providing patients with proven solutions that allow for a complete and comfortable smile that can last a lifetime.

We have created this guide to help patients understand the truth behind dental implants and to look past any common misconceptions. 

Are Dental Implants Painful?

Many patients fear the placement and restoration of dental implants because they believe that the process is uncomfortable. While implants are placed in order to fuse directly with the jawbone, this procedure is performed with the use of a local anesthetic. The safe use of anesthetic allows patients to have implants placed while remaining comfortable, and without having to worry about the process of implantation. 

The restoration and use of dental implants are also entirely comfortable. Once they have healed properly, implants allow patients to have the full use of their bite with a smile that looks natural. 

Are Dental Implants Too Expensive?

While dental implants are more expensive than traditional alternatives such as bridges, these restorations require less maintenance in the long term. Initial costs for implants are outweighed by the long-term savings that patients experience without having to replace their permanent implant posts. Additionally, patients can make use of payment plans in order to make the up-front costs of their implants manageable. 

Are Dental Implants Only Available for Certain Patients?

Many patients feel that dental implants are only available for patients above or below a certain age. However, implant posts can be placed for any patient with mature jaw growth. While some older patients may require additional pretreatment in order to compensate for long-term tooth loss, implants may still be placed once ample jawbone stability is restored. 

Implants can even be used to replace multiple teeth, and are not limited to the replacement of a single crown. Full-mouth restoration can be achieved the placement of a natural looking bridge or denture that is supported by multiple implants.
