Bone grafting can rebuild the site needed for a standard implant, and for the upper arch, a sinus lift can add volume where it&rsquo;s naturally thinner. All-on-4&reg; and All-on-X approaches often avoid the need for grafting altogether by placing implants at angles that use the bone you already have. Precise 3D imaging is what makes it possible to know for sure &mdash; not a guess based on an old X-ray.<\/p><div style=\"height:75px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full image-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.implantandsurgeryhouse.com\/blog\/5-myths-about-dental-implants-we-hear-every-week\/\" class=\"block-image-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"452\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.implantandsurgeryhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dental-implants-v2.webp\" alt=\"Dentist holding a replica of dental implants.\" class=\"wp-image-93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.implantandsurgeryhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dental-implants-v2.webp 452w, https:\/\/www.implantandsurgeryhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dental-implants-v2-300x285.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.implantandsurgeryhouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/dental-implants-v2-400x380.webp 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5\"><strong>&#10005;&nbsp; MYTH #3<\/strong><\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em><strong><em>&ldquo;You have to wait months after losing a tooth before you can get an implant.&rdquo;<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/h3><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6\" style=\"color:#117450\"><strong>&#10003;&nbsp; THE FACT<\/strong><\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many patients, extraction and implant placement can happen in the very same visit.

A removable denture typically needs relining or replacing every 5&ndash;8 years, and it doesn&rsquo;t stop the jawbone from gradually shrinking underneath it. An implant, cared for like a natural tooth, is built to last decades and actually helps preserve the bone it&rsquo;s anchored to. Priced per year instead of per procedure, implants are very often the more economical choice &mdash; not the more expensive one.<\/p><div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background-color:#00376c\"><tbody><tr><td><strong style=\"font-size: 26px;\">Still not sure which myth applies to your case?<\/strong><br><br>Come in for a real evaluation &mdash; a 3D scan, an honest answer, and a personalized plan, no matter what you&#8217;ve been told before.<br><br><strong><a style=\"color: #fff; border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;\" href=\"tel:+14105201440\">(410) 520-1440<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp; &middot;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/ux46aaBvoy4pzSXy6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" style=\"color: #fff; border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;\">120 Sister Pierre Drive Suite 103, Towson, MD 21204<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The team at Towson Implant &amp; Surgery House sets the record straight on the misconceptions that keep patients waiting longer than they need to.
