Because of this, they replace not only the visible crown of the tooth, but the root as well. This gives implants an advantage over other solutions to tooth loss in that implants stimulate the jawbone, promoting better oral health and preventing jawbone deterioration that comes with missing teeth.\r\n\r\nYou would think that placing an implant into the jawbone would hurt a lot, right? Let\u2019s explore the answer to that question.\r\n<h2>Are Dental Implants Painful?<\/h2>\r\nIn theory, the idea of getting dental implants sounds painful, but that\u2019s not usually the case. Your dentist will use a mixture of local anesthetic and sedation to make sure your procedure is smooth and pain-free.\r\n\r\nMost patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. In fact, many patients claim that getting a tooth extracted is a lot more uncomfortable than getting an implant placed. Your dentist even says that a majority of patients don\u2019t finish their prescribed pain medication after the implant surgery because they don\u2019t even need it!\r\n<h2>How Can You Maintain Your Dental Implants?<\/h2>\r\nThe great thing about dental implants, besides the procedure being relatively discomfort-free, is their longevity. They are designed to easily last for several decades, and possibly even the rest of your life if you take care of them. That can be done with some very easy steps:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste, for two minutes at a time.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Floss around your implant restoration at least once daily.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Visit your dentist in Bellingham every six months for a professional cleaning and checkup to evaluate the state of your implants.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nUltimately, getting dental implants in Bellingham should not be very painful at all. You may experience some soreness, but other than that, the process should be relatively pain-free. And you\u2019ll have a full, beautiful smile to boot!\r\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mydentalbellingham.com\/meet-dr-moreno.html\">Dr. Ronald Moreno<\/a> has been a practicing dentist in Bellingham since 1995 and is a graduate of Georgetown University\u2019s dental school.
