There are questions that you probably don’t think twice about when you’re about to ask them. Maybe you want to know what a dental implant is made out of, what it will feel like, or how much it might cost. Perhaps you’re curious about how long it takes until you will be all done, ready to show your new smile to the world. Then, there are those other questions. The ones that you think (and for which you really, really want answers) but you may feel a little shy, bashful, or embarrassed about bringing them up for one reason or another. We’d like to remind you of a few things that are really okay to ask us (because you really can ask us anything you’d like about implants!).
1: Why Choose Implants Instead Of Something Cheaper?
You might really want to ask us about why you should choose dental implants. However, you don’t want to know all of the major benefits. You want to know strictly about why you should spend a greater investment (up front, that is), when you could choose something that’s less expensive. Remember, this is not a taboo topic! It’s a very frequent question and one that we will be happy to explain. In short, when you’re talking about cost-effectiveness, implants usually win. Let us know you’d like to know more!
2: How Can You Say They Will Last Forever?
Actually, we cannot promise that your dental implants are going to last forever. However, we can say that it is possible. You shouldn’t feel embarrassed to ask us about this detail. We know that from the perspective of a patient and a consumer, this can sound like a marketing ploy! However, it’s true because of the way implants bond with your tissue. Ask us about it!
3: Can I Keep Smoking And Still Get Implants?
We know you might feel like you don’t want to ask this question but you know that you have to ask this question if you’re a smoker, you’d rather not quit, but you really want dental implants. Don’t feel like you cannot bring it up. This one comes with a lot of information because while we suggest against it, smoking doesn’t completely take you out of the running for implants.
