Advantages of dental implants

Researching dental implants is the most important step to make an informed decision for your health. Implant dentistry has advanced at incredible leaps for the last few years, providing a good solution for people to restore look and functionality to their mouths with regular dental implants.

How Long Dental Implants Last?

Dental implants are made of titanium, one of the most durable materials that is bio-compatible with the human body. These implants can last for decades with the proper care and maintenance. You should definitely follow the cleaning instructions given by your dentist to keep them clean. Always brush after a meal and use water irrigators when possible to get rid of any food debris trapped in hard to reach places. You must avoid plaque build up or the integrity of the implant might get compromised.

Do dental implants hurt?

One of the questions we get the most is if dental implants hurt. The dental implants placing procedure might leave you a bit sore but otherwise, dental implants feel and look like natural teeth once the rehabilitation of the screw with the crown is over. You shouldn’t have any pain and you will be able to eat normally again. All implant procedures are performed with local anesthesia to numb the area. You might only require some over the counter pain-killers the first couple of days after placing the implants and those can be obtained easily in any local drug store pharmacy. The dentists will give you a prescription for what you might need and t is important for the good health of your dental implants to maintain the necessary hygiene measures.

Dental Implants in Mexico are cheaper not because they are done with different materials, as in fact all implants are imported and FDA approved.
