Hello, and welcome back to the McKinney Dentist blog!

I’m Dr. Jeff Lynch, and today we’re diving deep into a topic that’s been the subject of much discussion and debate—old-school dental implants versus the cutting-edge options available today.

In this video, I discuss how the approach to dental implants has significantly evolved over the years. To make sure no one is left behind in this conversation, we’ve turned the video into a blog post. So, let’s jump right in!

The Old-School Mindset: Save Every Tooth

Firstly, let’s talk about the “old-school” way of thinking. In the past, the focus was always on preserving every tooth, no matter the circumstances. On the surface, this sounds like a noble goal. After all, who wouldn’t want to keep all their original teeth?

However, the harsh truth is that this mindset often led to subpar results. Patients would come in with a few good teeth, and the dental plan would be built around saving those teeth at all costs. The results? Not so great. Patients would often find themselves caught in a loop of never-ending repairs, adjustments, and disappointments.

A Paradigm Shift: The New-School Approach

Today, we’re lucky to have advanced technology and materials that give us the freedom to approach dental implants differently. The new-school philosophy focuses less on saving every single tooth and more on achieving the best possible end result for the patient:

• Quality Over Quantity
  The irony is, sometimes this involves removing a couple of otherwise healthy teeth. But why? Because it enables us to create a smile that is not just aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional and designed to last. It’s quality over quantity, and the end results are nothing short of amazing.
  Long-Term Benefits of the Modern Approach
  The new-school approach also comes with long-term benefits that go beyond just having a pretty smile.
• Easy Maintenance
  One of the biggest advantages is that the new-school dental implants are designed to be easily cleanable, reducing the chances of future dental problems.
• Dependability
  Moreover, this modern approach assures that your next dental visit will likely be a smooth one, where everything is still in tip-top shape, as opposed to playing a guessing game of “what’s gone wrong now?”

Transform Your Life with a New Smile

Imagine going through life with a smile that you’re not just content with, but proud of—a smile that gives you confidence and enhances your overall well-being. That’s what we aim for at McKinney Dentist. Our new-school approach is all about improving your quality of life for the long term, not just offering a temporary fix.

So there you have it—the old versus the new, and why we firmly stand by the latter. If you’re considering dental implants or any other form of dental restoration, don’t settle for just “so-so.” Demand the best, because that’s exactly what you deserve.
