In fact, they have a long-term success rate of over 95 percent! Still, you may want to know why they&#8217;re so effective before committing to treatment. After all, you likely want to ensure these prosthetics are right for you and your smile. Luckily enough, then, your local dentist has the answer to your question. Here&#8217;s a summary of four factors involved in dental implant success over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">Prompt Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don\u2019t benefit from a \u201cwait and see\u201d approach. When and if you need them, it\u2019s best to get the prosthetics soon after your tooth loss. Prompt implant treatment is likelier to succeed than a delayed one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You see, a jawbone will slowly lose tissue around an empty socket. As that happens, your jaw will reach a point where it can\u2019t support implants. That being the case, waiting too long will lead to bone loss, making treatment impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">Good Oral Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Like many procedures, successful dental implants depend on good oral health. Without the latter, your prosthetics will likely fail soon after placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">For instance, consider some common dental issues. When you suffer from gum disease, harmful bacteria might erode the bone that supports your implants. On the other hand, receding gums could lead to your implant loosening and failing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Given such scenarios, a dentist will perform an oral exam before giving you implants. In doing so, they\u2019ll find and treat problems that could affect your restorations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">Advanced Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">You&#8217;ll have effective implants if they&#8217;re precisely placed. Given this fact, advanced dental technology also results in dental implant success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Consider selecting a dental practice that uses cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) when planning your implant procedure. This 3D X-ray lets dentists find your bones&#8217; exact volume and density, ensuring implant placement is mapped out before surgery. It also uses less radiation than traditional CT scans and can focus on your jaw region to give better resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Of course, other kinds of tools can also help. A soft tissue laser, for example, might manage the gums around your implant to achieve a more lifelike look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">Implants\u2019 Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Lastly, implants\u2019 materials also contribute to their success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">For one thing, the titanium in implants lets them fuse with your jaw. Consequently, they usually remain stable and secure. An implant&#8217;s titanium post can even last a lifetime with proper care!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">On the other hand, implants also have porcelain surfaces. As such, they\u2019re stain-resistant and lifelike \u2014 often to the point that people can\u2019t tell them apart from natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">In the end, you can see that dental implant success relies on various things. Therefore, remember the factors above so your own succeed now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastcenterdental.com\/\"><em>East Center Dental<\/em><\/a><em> is based in Warsaw, Indiana.
