Dental implants<\/a> are beautiful, natural-looking replacements for missing teeth. These permanent prosthetics are not only beautiful, but they are also fully functional and easy to care for, too. If you thought you knew it all about dental implants, here are a few more fun facts that will fascinate you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Stronger Than You Think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are designed to chew a wide variety of foods, so they definitely need to be strong. That\u2019s why the implant posts are made of a powerful titanium alloy that will never rust or break. In fact, this metal is so powerful it\u2019s also used to make space shuttles and guided missiles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Help Prevent Bone Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you lose teeth, your jawbones begin to deteriorate without the stimulation those teeth once provided. Because dental implants are secured similarly to the roots of your natural teeth, they help prevent bone deterioration, stopping your face from developing that sunken look. It also helps support your remaining teeth and gum tissue, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Help Restore Your Bite Force<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bite force is an important function in chewing. When you lose your teeth, you lose the ability to crunch or chew, but with dental implants you restore 70 percent or more of that lost bite force. This allows you to eat a more diverse diet, full of things like fresh fruits, veggies, and tougher cuts of meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re Very Durable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The crowns of your dental implants are made of a strong, durable zirconia or porcelain that both looks and feels like \u201creal\u201d teeth. Thankfully, however, they can\u2019t get cavities. In fact, with proper maintenance they can last up to 20 years before they need replacement, so be sure to brush them twice a day, floss once a day, and visit your dentist twice a year to keep them in excellent condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They Have a High Success Rate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In years past, dental implants had a reputation for occasional failure, however, today implants boast a 95 percent success rate! That means that with proper aftercare, your dental implants could last a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to dental implants, be sure to know the facts about these powerful prosthetics and you\u2019ll enjoy the benefits of a healthy smile for a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
