But you might be wondering if they\u2019re a long-term solution or just a temporary fix. The answer is yes and no. Dental implants are permanent because they\u2019re meant to stay in your mouth forever. Once they\u2019ve been placed, your dentist will not need to see you again for another few years due to their longevity. Having any kind of procedure can be nerve-wracking. At first glance, dental implants may seem like an odd choice for someone who doesn\u2019t have a lot of time left on this earth. But think about it from the other perspective: If you have any kids, grandkids, nieces, or nephews who you want to give something to someday soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:00919820446633\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#fffffa;background-color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-dental-implants\">What are dental implants?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental<a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/multiple-dental-implant-teeth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> implants<\/a> are titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jaw. They\u2019re meant to act as a new tooth root, allowing you to attach a false tooth and feel comfortable with your smile. Implants are a great solution for people who have one or more missing teeth. That\u2019s because they can be used to anchor a denture or a bridge. There are also implants that are meant to replace a single tooth. This is often done if you have an exposed tooth root where that tooth was removed. Implants aren\u2019t just for people who have missing teeth. They are also used to replace teeth that have been removed due to gum disease, injury, or dental disease.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"510\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/basalimplant-510x341.jpg\" alt=\"single stage immediate loading basal dental implant\" class=\"wp-image-14519\" style=\"width:347px;height:233px\" title=\"\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All-on-4 Dental Implants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-are-they-permanent\">Why are dental implants permanent?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants stay in your mouth forever because they are implanted into your gums. But that doesn\u2019t mean that you need to keep them forever. It\u2019s true that your<a href=\"https:\/\/chiragchamria.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> dentist<\/a> will want you to keep your implant for the rest of your life. But that doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t ever take it out. There are two times when you may want to consider removing your implant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"How Long Does a Dental Implant Take? | Same-Day Implants Explained | Dr Chirag Chamria |Royal Dental\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oxymT9nlgMs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You die: This is the obvious reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You want to replace it with a denture: If you decide that you want a denture to replace your implant-retained denture, then you\u2019ll need to have your implant removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-dental-implants-painful\">Are permanent dental implants painful?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants are not painful, but they may cause some mild discomfort. During the procedure, your dentist will numb your gums. However, they will not numb your<a href=\"https:\/\/sapteeth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> teeth<\/a>. That\u2019s not possible. So you may feel sensitivity in your teeth as your gums heal. Additionally, you may experience some sensitivity if you have dentures attached to the implants. If you have other dental problems that cause pain, implants may not take away all of your discomforts. For example, if you have periodontal disease, implants aren\u2019t likely to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-do-dental-implants-cost\">How much do permanent dental implants cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants can cost upwards of $5,000, making them one of the most expensive options for replacing a tooth. That said, dental implants are usually covered by insurance. Dental implants are usually considered cosmetic procedures. As such, they\u2019re usually not covered by health insurance. If you have dental insurance, you\u2019ll need to check with your provider to see if they will cover the cost. Because dental implants are cosmesis, you may need to pay out of pocket. If you do, consider finding a dental savings plan, like those offered by Dental Savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:00919820446633\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#fffffa;background-color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Call Now<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/enquiry5\/?utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=5%20foods%20that%20make%20your%20kids%20teeth%20stronger\" style=\"border-radius:2px;color:#ba0c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get In Touch<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-downside-it-s-not-a-quick-fix\">The downside: It\u2019s not a quick fix.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dental<\/a> implants can take months to heal. If you\u2019re replacing one tooth, it could take you anywhere from six to nine months before you have the new tooth implanted. You\u2019re replacing a few teeth, it could take up to a year for your gums to fully heal. If you want to replace all of your teeth with an implant-retained denture, it could take even longer. You\u2019ll need to wait until your gums have fully healed, and then you\u2019ll need to have the dentures attached.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"839\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/JUVORA-Dental-Disc-Implant-Prosthetic-Framework-Invibio-Biomaterial-Solutions.jpg\" alt=\"peek dental framework prosthodontics teeth\" class=\"wp-image-18238\" style=\"width:420px;height:280px\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why does it take so long? Like most things in life, the more complicated something is, the longer it takes. Replacing teeth with implants is more complicated than with dentures. That\u2019s because, with dentures, you have to attach them to your gums\u2014which takes only a few weeks. But with implants, you have to place a titanium post into your jawbone, which takes months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-should-you-get-a-dental-implant\">Should you get a dental implant?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have one or more missing teeth, dental implants are a great option. They\u2019re long-lasting, and they\u2019re a way to restore your confidence in your smile. You\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019re in good health and that you\u2019re committed to the long healing process. However, dentures are another option. Depending on your situation, they may be a better choice for you. They\u2019re cheaper, easier to get and take less time to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"atbssuga-responsive-video\"><iframe title=\"Best Brands of Dental Implants | Stock vs Customized Implants | Dr Chirag Chamria | Royal Dental\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GDp7AB7yZvk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But they\u2019re less long-lasting and not as attractive as dental implants. If you want to keep your smile long-term, dental implants are a good option. They are more expensive than dentures, but they keep your jaw strong and they last forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bottom-line\">Bottom line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you lose a tooth, there are a few options for replacing it. The simplest option is to wear a denture. However, these are not as attractive and they can be uncomfortable. Another option is a bridge. However, these are more complicated, and they require careful maintenance. Dental implants are the best option for replacing missing teeth. They are more expensive than the other options, but they last forever and they look natural when done correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-qubely-map qubely-block-099e01\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Royal%20Dental%20Clinic%20%7C%20Same%20Day%20Dental%20Implant%20%26%20Cosmetic%20Treatment%2C%20Kandivali%20Thakur%20Complex%2C%20V%20Mall%2C%20Western%20Express%20Hwy%2C%20Kandivali%20East%2C%20Mumbai%2C%20Maharashtra%20400101&amp;t=&amp;z=16&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;iwloc=&amp;output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350px\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Suggested Article \u2013<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/pros-and-cons-of-full-mouth-dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pros and Cons of Full Mouth Dental Implants<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/difference-between-crowns-and-dental-implants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Difference between Crowns and Dental Implants?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/who-is-the-best-dental-implant-specialist-in-delhi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Who is the Best Dental Implant specialist<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dental implants are a common procedure that helps people restore missing teeth.
