Dental Implants have been developed over the years so precisely and accurately keeping in mind about Biocompatibility. Dental Brands spend millions of dollars on Research to make the best Dental Implants which would not only be Human Friendly, but which can last decades & decades! The dental Implant procedures are not at all Painful thanks to the advancement in Anaesthesiology. A single anaesthesia injection Is more than enough to make the surgery pain free.

The Osseointegration that an dental implant gives cannot be found elsewhere! That’s the beauty of Dental Implants. The average rejection of Implant cases is only 3%.

Only Pregnancy is termed as a Contraindication for placing of dental implants. Patients with systematic diseases of internal organs (Diabetes, Hypertension) as well in the case where a patient is subjected to addictions (smoking, excessive alcohol etc) should be approached with little bit of more carefulness. Dental Implantation in these cases is possible. Only condition is that these patients should have postoperative management.

MYTH FIVE- Dental Implants are very expensive

The cost of placing an Implant in the mouth might cost you but you should consider it as an Investment on your health for Lifetime. There are a few brands in the market which offer Implants slightly less as compared to other Dental Implant Brands. The fact which needs to be kept in mind is the implant prosthesis for one loss tooth is the same as the cost of the dental bridge for the same lost tooth, consisting of three crowns. An Implant placed successfully has no additional cost except investing in a good toothpaste.

Implants should only be placed after a thorough examination of the patient’s health condition.
