As with just about anything that you get extremely excited about, you’re probably going to start hearing some myths (some potentially convincing ones at that) about dental implants. Of course, they will be disappointing and may even start to cause you to doubt your initial enthusiasm and feelings of serious interest in implants! While this can cause you to feel a bit unsure and even defeated, our Rohnert Park, CA team reminds you that any time you hear anything suspect, it’s wise to bring it to our attention! Amongst other things (like providing you with oral surgery), we’re also quite good at setting the record straight!
Myth: Implants Are Insanely Expensive
We guess you have heard at least once by now that dental implants are expensive. Or, you may have heard that they’re insanely expensive. You may have heard that yes, of course, they are fantastic if you would like to replace your missing teeth but only few will be able to access them. The truth? They require more of an investment when you are holding them side-by-side with traditional prosthetics. However, they generally last forever. This means, in the long run, they are actually a more effective use of your money! As for the details, though, we can talk with you about them in person (and, in short, they’re actually within reach for most patients).
Myth: Implants Actually Usually Fail
Since dental implants have an exceptional success rate, one of the myths you’re likely to hear is that they’re actually a treatment that usually fails. This isn’t true. That original amazing success rate you’ve heard about, which is at about 98 percent is the real deal. Want some further particulars? Just let us know!
Myth: It Doesn’t Matter Who Provides Your Implants
Well, it does. When you receive your dental implants from a team of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, you are receiving care from individuals with years with of advanced training, knowledge, expertise, and the ability to treat you holistically. Remember, implants are placed surgically, so receiving them from a surgeon is a wise choice.
Myth: You Either Qualify Or You Don’t!
This is absolutely a myth! Many patients will immediately qualify for dental implants. Then, there are others who won’t qualify at first … but we can offer treatments and a path that leads to qualifying!
