There are a number of myths about cosmetic implants dating way back to colonial times. For instance, George Washington, despite popular legend, did not have wooden teeth. Of course, that does not not mean that nobody had wooden dentures back then! Wooden replacement teeth were indeed used at one time. The first recorded instance of wooden dentures occurred in Japan during the 16th century. You could say that wooden teeth were the first types of dental implants!
From colonial times up through the 19th century, the majority of adults lost all or most of their teeth. These days, fortunately, this is not the case. Because of significant improvements in dentistry over the past 100 years, 90 out of 100 current senior citizens have a full set of adult teeth. Of course, for those 41 to 60 year olds making up more than half of all cosmetic dentistry patients, there are cosmetic implants available that can help people who have lost their adult teeth for whatever reason.
There are several types of cosmetic implants that people can choose from depending on their needs. These include full dental implants and the mini dental implant. Almost all cosmetic implants are fashioned out of titanium and serve as a method of anchoring dentures within the jaw. The best cosmetic dentists have an excellent rate of success for procedures using cosmetic implants. In fact, as long as you take proper care of your cosmetic implants, they should last for many years.
One of the best ways of taking care of cosmetic implants is to brush with an ultrasonic toothbrush. A toothbrush must emit a wave at a minimum frequency of 20,000 hertz or 2,400,000 movements per minute to be considered ultrasonic. This information should be available on the toothbrush packaging.
