Lost a tooth in an accident or due to decay? Your go-to solution is implant dentistry Chino. You not only get those teeth back but also your lovely smile and the irrevocable confidence. What is a dental implant? For those uninitiated, it is an artificial root that holds the bridge or the replacement tooth. It is a titanium screw that is fixed into the jawbone where your tooth is missing. It takes a few days before that area heals; however, it is a permanent solution for the missing tooth.
Dental Implants Chino have been around for a while now but, not many people are aware about it or know how it works. In fact, a lot of myths and misconceptions surround this treatment. Here, I am going to bust a few myths that I have been hearing from my patients.
1. Dental implants are not safe.
Many people truly believe that! I would like to say that this is not true. In fact, dental implant is the safest treatment you can undergo for your missing teeth. You just need to visit an established and experienced dentist who has the experience of carrying out this treatment. It is better to get a dental implant rather than suffer from the weakening of the neighbouring teeth. Yes, if you don't get an implant, the food gets deposited in the empty spot. The adjacent teeth, having no support, tend to get weaker, and chances are you might lose them too.

2. Once implanted, you don't need to see a dentist.
Implants require special care, which is why you need to visit a dentist till your implant heals completely. The spot where you have initiated the dental implant may suffer from bacterial growth, which can then cause issues. The dentist will be able to clean the implant regularly, and keep it free from bacteria.

3. I have some of my tooth's portion. I can't have an implant.
You can. If it is big enough, instead of an implant you can opt for a dental crown. It will cover your broken tooth as well as complete your smile. However, if the portion left is barely visible or is shaky, you can opt for a dental implant. It will offer support to the adjacent teeth as well as complete your smile.

4. Implants are a good option for anyone with missing tooth/teeth.
The answer would be no. It totally depends on the overall dental health and its current situation. You will need to consult a dentist before concluding on the type of treatment you should opt for. In case you are diabetic or you have suffered from a severe medical problem in the past, the doctor may not suggest this treatment for you. In fact, the heart patients should also refrain from this treatment.

5. Implants hurt a lot.
Partly true! When you undergo this treatment, you're given local anesthesia. You will not feel the pain when your dentist implants the titanium screw. However, afterwards it may pain because of contraction. The bones around it try to hold the screw and in this process you feel some discomfort. Your dentist might give you sedative if you're too nervous.

Dental implants are absolutely safe. It only depends upon your overall medical health. If you're fit, you make a good candidate for the treatment.
