They have become a preferred tooth replacement\nmethod by dentists and patients alike because of their many benefits.

That\u2019s why your dentist is here to help. Continue reading to learn\na few myths about dental implants and why they aren\u2019t necessarily true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #1: Dental Implants Cause You Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people who have receive dental implants in the past\nrecall little to no discomfort throughout the entire process. During the\nprocedure, a local anesthesia is administered in order to numb the area so that\nyou feel perfectly comfortable. While you may feel some minor pain and soreness\nwhile the implant is healing, your dentist will help you get the medications\nyou need so that you can recover with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #2: Dental Bridges Are a Better Option<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though there are multiple ways for dentists to replace\nyour missing teeth, they are not all equal. Bridges involve one or more replacement\nteeth being held into place by the natural teeth on either side of the gap.\nMost of the time, dental implants are a better option because they are the only\nmethod of tooth replacement that replaces the natural root of the tooth. This preserves\nthe structure of the adjacent teeth while preventing bone loss from occurring. On\nthe other hand, bridges can compromise the surrounding teeth because it causes\nthem to bear more stress. In the end, it will need to be replaced more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #3: Implants Will Not Look Natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After careful planning, your dentist in Murphy will place the\nimplant in the most ideal location for osseointegration to take place. The\ncrown that will be placed on the end of the implant is customized to match the\nexact size, shape, and color needed to blend in seamlessly with the rest of\nyour smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Myth #4: Bargain Implants Are Great for Patients on a Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you are on a budget, paying less money for cheap\nimplants is incredibly risky. Chances are that the material that is being used\nis not high quality. This can be extremely dangerous because implants are placed\ninto your jawbone to integrate and function as a living part of your body. High-quality\nmaterials, such as biocompatible titanium, are crucial for optimal oral health.\nSpending a little bit more on your implants will benefit you in the long run, even\nif the payment is a bit of a stretch. They are more likely to be successful,\nyou will have fewer dental issues, and they will last much longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let myths like these fool you. By taking the advice of\nyour dentist and discussing your options, you will be able to determine whether\nor not dental implants are the best tooth replacement option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing her dental degree in India and working as a\ngeneral dentist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murphydentalhome.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Khushboo\nGandhi<\/a> moved to the United States when she completed the Advanced Education\nprogram for international dentists at the Oklahoma College of Dentistry.
