\"Model<\/a>500,000 people per year are ditching traditional bridges and dentures to restore their smiles with the next best thing to real teeth. A dental implant<\/a> is the only prosthetic to replicate both the root and the crown. Not only does it look and feel natural, but a dental implant has over a 95% success rate; however, it\u2019s a big investment because it can last for decades. It\u2019s worth the time and money because you may never need replacements, but how long do dental implants last? The answer depends on 6 factors that affect the lifespan of your new smile.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Qualifications of the Implant Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many dentists offer dental implants, but not all are qualified to provide the placement surgery in-house, so you\u2019ll be referred to another location. You can skip the hassle and added expense by choosing a dentist that\u2019s completed advanced training in both the placement and restoration process. Besides their education, look to see if they are members of any professional organizations, like the American Dental Association. Choosing the right dentist is the first step to ensuring the success of dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. High-Quality Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone enjoys saving money, but discounted materials can be of low quality. As a result, they may not have the same durability or success as higher-quality materials. It\u2019s better to focus on quality instead of the price tag to get the most from your investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Healthy Mouth and Jawbone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Good oral health and a strong jawbone are vital for dental implants. After your consultation, your dentist may recommend preparatory procedures to create a healthy foundation for your new smile, like periodontal therapy or bone grafting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Osseointegration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The long-term success of your procedure relies on your jaw integrating with the post through a process called osseointegration, which can take several months. It\u2019s important to follow your dentist\u2019s aftercare instructions to avoid complications, like eating softer foods to prevent overloading your dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Good Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peri-implantitis is a leading cause of dental implant failure, which is a preventable infection that\u2019s like gum disease. You can safeguard your smile from infections by brushing, flossing, and using a daily mouthwash. Visit your dentist twice a year for a cleaning and checkup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Healthy Lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your lifestyle can also influence the lifespan of dental implants. A nutritious diet that\u2019s limited in sugars will keep your mouth and body healthy. Limit how often you eat hard or chewy foods. Don\u2019t smoke or drink alcohol frequently to reduce your risk of complications. Break any bad oral habits, like using your teeth to open bottle lids or chewing on your fingernails. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are a cost-effective solution because they can last for 30 years or more. Don\u2019t settle for anything less than the best when replacing your missing teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
