What should you do to give your dental implants the highest possible chance of success? This post has you covered! Keep reading for tips on how to promote a smooth dental implant treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevent Peri-Implantitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When dental implants do fail, one of the more common reasons is due to peri-implantitis \u2013 which is simply a fancy word for \u201cgum disease.\u201d In many cases, what makes peri-implantitis so dangerous is that the damage has extended past the gums and down into the jawbone. Both of these substances are vital for keeping your implant in place, and if they deteriorate, your tooth replacement could very well fall out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, peri-implantitis is preventable. Daily oral hygiene helps eliminate the bacteria that cause this oral condition, and your dentist can keep a watchful eye out for warning signs during your biannual checkups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Your Jawbone Density<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As already stated, your jawbone is really important for making sure your dental implants stay in place. Even if you don\u2019t have peri-implantitis and have never experienced gum disease, it\u2019s possible for your jawbone to be too thin to properly support dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019d be out of luck \u2013 it just means you should visit your dentist for a thorough oral exam before proceeding with treatment. If they see that your jawbone density is poor, they can likely \u201cbulk it up\u201d with a bone graft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let Your Implants Settle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but certainly not least, a good way to promote successful dental implants is to rest <em>after <\/em>your treatment so they can properly integrate with your jawbone. Implants are made from biocompatible materials precisely for this purpose, and if you break your recovery by eating hard foods or exerting pressure on them, they could become loose. In severe cases, disrupting the integration process can even cause bone or nerve damage. Needless to say, following your dentist\u2019s aftercare instructions is in your best interest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk to Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wanted to sum up all of these tips into one kernel of advice, it would be to talk with your dentist. Schedule a consultation with them before receiving a dental implant treatment, and they\u2019ll gladly tell you everything you need to know about promoting their success. Plus, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns, which will help <em>you <\/em>feel more confident about the road ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seahurstparkdentistry.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. David Thomas<\/a>, your \u201cfriendly neighborhood dentist,\u201d would be happy to meet with you to discuss the details of a dental implant treatment.
