3 Hidden Dangers of Cheap Dental Implants
Your oral health plays a vital role in your overall well-being and quality of life and so decisions regarding this should never be taken hastily. If you have one or more teeth missing, one option available to you is getting dental implants.
However, due to the expertise and engineering required for this type of treatment, it comes with a high price tag when compared to dentures or bridges. Some patients might be tempted to save money by opting for cheap dental work and implants. Unfortunately, this runs the risk of you experiencing short and long term difficulties.
Here are 3 dangers of opting for cheap dental implants:
1. Cheap Rarely Means Good
Although the word ‘cheap’ may be appealing when visiting the dentist or choosing certain treatments, you must be very wary of such ‘bargain’ procedures. Whenever you visit a dentist, you’re putting trust in them as a professional and the health of your teeth in their hands.
In this case, a cheap cost is likely to be a reflection of your dentist’s skill and/or the quality of the implants.
2. Bad Dental Work Can Lead to Health Issues
You must remember that fitting dental implants is a medical procedure that requires a skilled surgeon or dentist. If you sacrifice the quality of your surgeon just to save some money, you’ll be vulnerable to health problems in the future, such as:
Infection
If your dental surgeon is lax with hygiene or the sterilization of their equipment, it can cause an infection. This can cause severe pain or swelling in the gums, which can then loosen the implant. If the infection spreads, you could experience issues with soft tissue and sinuses.
Difficulty Chewing or Bone Loss
Long term issues can occur from cheap dental implants. If your surgeon places the implant incorrectly in the jaw, this will make it harder to chew and put additional stress on the implant, which can lead to bone loss.
3. Cheap Dental Implants Lead to Higher Future Costs
While not every cheap dental implant will be of poor quality, there is no doubt that by opting for them, you’d be taking a risk. Your implant could break, or you may discover that it hasn’t been fitted to your gum correctly. Not only will this cause you pain and discomfort, but it will also have a significant impact on your daily life.
However, not only will cheap dental implants affect your teeth, but your pockets as well. If your implant breaks or has been inserted incorrectly, then you’ll have to have corrective surgery later down the road, leading to an increase in costs.
