\"ModelDid you know that an estimated 3 million people in the U.S. have at least one implant and an additional 500,000 implants are placed each year? Implants have become such a popular way to replace missing teeth because they look and feel more natural than any other option. They also have a success rate of 98%, which is reassuring for anyone who invests in an implant. But although 98% is very high, implants still occasionally fail for multiple reasons. If you\u2019re interested in dental implants in Dallas GA and would like to know how to increase your chance of success, keep reading for 5 great tips below!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Don\u2019t Smoke<\/h2>\n

For smokers, the success rate of implants drops from 98% to about 85%. Smoking interferes with your ability to heal, which is crucial for the implant to fuse with the surrounding jawbone and become stable.<\/p>\n

2. Maintain Good Hygiene<\/h2>\n

Dental implants can\u2019t get cavities, but they can <\/em>fail if the surrounding gum tissue and underlying bone aren\u2019t healthy. It\u2019s essential to gently but thoroughly brush around an implant at least twice a day and floss once.<\/p>\n

Also, don\u2019t hesitate to ask your dentist or hygienist for a demonstration of how to floss because implants require a different technique than natural teeth.<\/p>\n

3. Get Regular Checkups<\/h2>\n

Regular checkups are important so that any small problems can be caught and treated as early as possible. It\u2019s also an opportunity to get a professional cleaning, which goes a long way towards keeping the gum tissue around your implant clean and healthy.<\/p>\n

4. Protect Your Implant From Clenching and Grinding<\/h2>\n

Nighttime clenching and grinding puts an incredible amount of pressure on both natural teeth and implants. It can prevent an implant from fusing with the jawbone after it\u2019s placed or it can make an implant loose at any point after it\u2019s been done.<\/p>\n

If you clench or grind, a dentist might recommend a nightguard to protect your implant<\/a> and increase its chance of success.<\/p>\n

5. Choose an Experienced Dentist<\/h2>\n

Although it\u2019s relatively rare, sometimes implants fail because an error was made during the initial procedure. It\u2019s always a good idea to ask a dentist about their training, experience and how many implants they\u2019ve placed.<\/p>\n

Also, think twice about \u201cbargain implants\u201d because they may be done with inferior materials or techniques. An implant\u00a0is an investment that will last for decades if it\u2019s done well and maintained properly, so it\u2019s worth it to make sure it\u2019s done by an experienced, well-qualified dentist!<\/p>\n
