Don’t Wait to Save Your Smile
Are You Falling for This Dental Implant Myth?
In the spirit of Dr. Janice’s article this month, we have one more myth to bust:
After the procedure, some patients need prescription painkillers, but most are able to get by with over-the-counter medication until the implant has healed fully. This can take as little as two months. As for the cost, most patients agree that dental implants are an investment in their future. Losing a tooth causes the jawbone to atrophy. When this happens, the surrounding teeth are affected. Losing one tooth almost guarantees you will lose more. This dental domino effect can be avoided with a single dental implant.

Any sort of treatment comes with a degree of discomfort. Even filling a cavity can be uncomfortable, but does that mean you leave the cavity to become an infection that requires a root canal later? Dental implants are no more painful than any other necessary procedure. Whether or not the procedure will hurt depends on how complicated the situation is, your body’s ability to heal, and the skill of your dentist.
Dental implants aren’t a quick or easy procedure, but the truth is, not having teeth is
