They\u2019re permanent, they look just like \u201creal\u201d teeth, and they even work just like them, too. But for many people, there\u2019s still a lot they aren\u2019t aware of that could help them make one of the best oral health decisions they\u2019ll ever make. If you\u2019re on the fence about replacing your teeth with these beautiful, durable restorations, here\u2019s are five facts that could help make your choice a lot easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re Cavity Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While your natural teeth are best, they do come with one caveat: they are prone to cavities. With dental implant crowns, however, this is not an issue, because they are made of durable porcelain or composite resin material that cannot get cavities. While you still can damage them if you don\u2019t use them properly (such as to open packaging or bite things that aren\u2019t food) they are immune to decay.&nbsp; Keep in mind that you will still need to brush and floss them regularly to prevent stains and gum disease, as well as to protect any of your remaining natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re the \u201cBomb\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that the metal used in your dental implants is the same material used to make missiles and space shuttles? If they\u2019re tough enough to launch into outer space, they\u2019re certainly strong enough to stand up to your diet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dressed for Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may have heard people say in the past that dental implants can fail, or that they have a high failure rate, but this is simply not true. In fact, today, thanks to improved techniques and a better understanding of how to care for them, they have a 95 percent success rate! Furthermore, it\u2019s easy to increase your odds of success by following your dentist\u2019s aftercare instructions closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re More Affordable Than You Might Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While dental implants have a reputation for being expensive, they are a lot more affordable than you may have realized. That\u2019s because with proper care they could last a lifetime, meaning you may never need to replace them like you would with dentures or bridges! They may even be partially covered by your dental insurance, and many dentists offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bellroaddentalcare.com\/in-house-savings-plan.html\">flexible financing<\/a> or promotional specials to their patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">They\u2019re Good for You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants don\u2019t just look good, they\u2019re good for you, too! That\u2019s because in addition to allowing you to once again eat a variety of healthy foods, they also help protect your jawbone from deterioration, which could result in more lost teeth and the need for a bone graft procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, while there\u2019s still many things you may not have realized about dental implants, these positive facts should make your decision to get them a whole lot easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bellroaddentalcare.com\/about-us.html\">Bell Road Dental Care of Phoenix<\/a>, we\u2019re proud to treat your entire family.
