They\u2019re incredibly powerful, durable, and can provide patients with a stunning amount of bite strength. However, even with all the buzz around this dental treatment, there are a lot of things about it that you might not know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in learning more, here are some surprising facts about dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fact: Dental Implants Last for Decades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people who have read up on dental implants are aware of their durability. However, they might not fully understand the full extent of how long dental implants actually last, or how successful they really are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around 95% of dental implants are successful at 20 years, and a vast majority last over 30. In fact, it\u2019s common for dental implants to last for the entire life of the patients who get them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fact: Dental Implants Have a Long History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The story of modern dental implants began in the mid-20<sup>th<\/sup> century, when a doctor discovered titanium\u2019s ability to fuse with bone. This allowed for sturdier implants than was ever possible before. However, this is far from the first time people tried replacing teeth by placing objects in the jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, archaeological records show that the Ancient Mayans, Egyptians, and Chinese all attempted to replace teeth this way. In the case of the former, the seashells that they used actually managed to fuse with bone tissue\u2014something that wouldn\u2019t be reliably replicated for thousands of years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fact: Dental Implants Won\u2019t Decay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the reason that dental implants are so durable is that they\u2019re resistant to many of the forces that could compromise natural teeth. Tooth decay is an excellent example; the porcelain false teeth are often made from is resistant to erosion, which means that you\u2019ll never have to worry about cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there are other issues that can compromise the health of your dental implants, particularly infection. This means that you can\u2019t just ignore your dental hygiene. However, having a dental implant will provide you with a strong, durable tooth that you won\u2019t have to take special care of in order to maintain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Our Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Aesthetic &amp; Family Dentistry of North Bethesda, we believe that dentistry is about more than just administering treatments.
