When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants are the name of the game! They\u2019ve been helping patients restore their smiles for decades, and they\u2019re fully capable of restoring lost pearly whites in terms of look, feel, and functionality. However, not all dental implants are created equally, and some are unfortunately made from cheaper materials and actually pose a threat to your oral health! Here are four reasons you should avoid cheaper implants and opt for getting them from a qualified implant dentist<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Possible Implant Breakage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It might seem<\/em> appealing to save some money by choosing cheaper implants, but cheaper doesn\u2019t mean better, especially when it comes to dental implants! If your implants are made from inadequate materials, they can easily break under the pressure of biting or chewing. When this happens, your jaw might not have enough strength and mass leftover to support a new abutment screw\u2014and even if you can, you\u2019ll still have to pay for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Chance of Nerve Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Research from the King\u2019s College Dental Institute shows that patients who already suffer from nerve injury will experience even more pain due to their implants if they opt for cheaper ones, as well as difficulty and possible pain when eating, talking, or simply moving their jaw. This can also lead to needing additional expensive treatment in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Likely Integration Failure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your implants will fail if they\u2019re unable to properly fuse with your jawbone, plain and simple. That said, in many cases cheaper implants can\u2019t properly integrate with the bone due to their insufficient materials. This also means the risk of implant failure greatly rises, coupled with the risk of infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Potential Damage to Adjacent Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Opting for cheaper implants can also jeopardize your remaining natural teeth! Your abutment teeth are in danger too if your cheap implants become damaged, and you\u2019ll end up needing even more restorative work than originally intended. Needless to say, this will translate into a higher overall cost of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re thinking about getting dental implants, don\u2019t settle for the cheap ones. They might save you a little money at first, but they can easily lead to other problems that will hurt your mouth and wallet down the road!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
