Factors for Successful Dental Implants

-

Dental osseointeg­ration, also known as dental implant, is rapidly becoming more popular.

With advances in technology, this is the solution most people consider to replace a missing tooth, as it provides better long-term value than convention­al replacemen­t options.

But while dental implants are an effective, most natural, and long-lasting oral care solution, not everyone can undergo the procedure. There are several factors that can determine your viability as a good candidate. Here are a few factors you need to consider.

Choose the best system. The dental implant system you choose is a major factor, if not one of the most important decisions to make for the success of your dental implants. Asking your dentist for the best such as Straumann, the undisputed leader when it comes to implant, restorativ­e and regenerati­ve dentistry products, ensures that your investment will pay off. Good general health. Those who smoke, drink alcohol, or have diabetes usually have lower success rates with dental implants since these conditions can negatively affect oral health, which affects the healing process of the implant. Healthy gums. Healthy gums are necessary to support the new dental implant as it fuses with the jawbone. If you suffer from advanced gum disease, you may benefit from periodonta­l (gum) treatment to rectify this deficiency prior to receiving implants.

Adequate jaw bone support. Without healthy, strong bones, an implant can possibly fail. If you are lacking sufficient jaw bone density to anchor an implant, the aid of a bone graft can help create a stronger foundation for successful integratio­n.
