Implants: 3 Things That Scare You (But Don’t Need To)

There are some details you probably love when you learn about them as you become more familiar with dental implants. There are some details that may scare you, too, which can keep you teeter-tottering back and forth between saying yes to implants (or saying no). We are very happy to report that you don’t need to feel afraid of this option to replace the teeth you’ve been missing. Our Conroe, TX team recognizes that a great deal of patient uncertainty simply comes from needing more information. So, today, we start by offering up explanations for specific areas for which we find patients most often need additional details. The more you learn, the more you’ll see that there’s nothing to worry about but everything to get excited about with implants.

#1: The Time Investment

You might feel a bit afraid of the time investment when you’re considering dental implants. Yes, of course, it’s going to take some time (probably several months) from the moment you begin this process until the time you’re all done with your implants and restorations. However, in the grand scheme of things, this really isn’t much time. It’s also an investment that will offer you exceptional convenience on the other side of the experience, as dental implants tend to offer lifelong wear.

#2: The Financial Investment!

Our team reminds you that while you may feel unsure about the financial investment, we are here to discuss the details with you. We usually find that patients begin comparing the cost of dental implants to the cost of traditionally supported prosthetics like dentures and bridges. This isn’t a good comparison and can cause confusion. Remember: Traditional prosthetics will only last a few years to several years at a time. Implants will likely last for the rest of your lifetime, so they are actually extremely cost effective.

#3: Your Current Candidacy Situation

You may feel afraid of dental implants because you’re worried you’re never going to be able to have them. Fortunately, there are nearly always pathways that will help guide you toward becoming someone who qualifies for treatment. Are you worried that your current jaw health or issues with your sinuses may be a problem? Don’t be. Instead, talk with us about your options!
