If you have found ways around having missing teeth, you may not mind having gaps here and there. However, tooth loss can have major effects on your oral and overall health, so it’s important to replace them right away. The earlier the better, that way you can avoid spending on reinforcing your jawbone from bone loss or supplements for better nutrition.
Dental implants are a great way to replace missing teeth, but you may be worried about their higher cost. You may even look for ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs with a bargain brand. This isn’t the best option and could even put your smile at risk. Continue reading to learn how.
Bargain Dental Implants Don’t Last as Long
A main selling point of this tooth replacement option that appeals to many people is its longevity. They are known to last over 30 years, with many people enjoying a full smile for a lifetime! Choosing a cheaper option for dental implants means that you may not enjoy these long-term benefits. They may be of low quality and require replacements or harmful results (such as poor placement) that need to be fixed with more costly procedures.
Discount Dental Implants Can Increase Infection Chances
Getting dental implants from a trusted oral surgeon who has the expertise to place them is essential. Their position is crucial because it will help ensure that the treatment is successful and give you a long-lasting, strong smile.
By choosing low-quality implants, you risk incorrect placement or improper cleaning of tools. Your jawbone may struggle to fuse with the implant, which leaves you at a higher risk of infection. You may experience some pain and swelling, and then, in some cases, implant failure.
Cheap Dental Implants Can Stand Out
The restoration that sits on top of the implant is made out of a high-quality, lifelike material. It blends in with your smile, letting you feel more confident in your grin! However, if it is cheaply made, then it can potentially stand out when it’s next to your natural teeth. This can make you feel even more self-conscious about your smile, and now your wallet has taken a blow as well! In the end, you may end up trying to find a trusted oral surgeon to fix your smile while struggling to get a refund from the office that initially placed them.
When it comes to your smile, you deserve the best! Especially when it comes to your oral health, cutting corners can lead to more problems down the road instead of fixing the ones you have now. Invest in an oral surgeon that you know you can trust, so you can get the better oral and overall health you want.
