Many studies show that implants have a success rate of over 95%, and it\u2019s not uncommon for them to last the rest of a patient\u2019s life. Why does the treatment work so well? The following post explores 4 key secrets to dental implant success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Proper Preparations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist in San Antonio will only recommend dental implants if they\u2019re sure that you\u2019re a good candidate for the procedure. During your initial implant consultation, they\u2019ll examine your mouth carefully for signs of gum disease and other oral health issues that could potentially lead to implant failure. They\u2019ll also evaluate your jaw to confirm that there\u2019s enough bone density to join with and support the posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are any issues that might interfere with the implant process, your dentist will take steps to thoroughly address them before moving forward with implant surgery. For example, if there\u2019s a lack of bone in your jaw, they might recommend a bone grafting procedure to rebuild the areas where the implant posts need to be placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. State of the Art Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The technology used to plan and perform dental implant surgery can be a critical factor in its success. Your dentist will use 3D cone beam imaging to create a detailed digital model of your mouth, jaw, and other oral structures. This helps them determine precisely where each implant needs to go, and it allows them to identify any oral structures that need to be taken into account during the surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. An Expert\u2019s Touch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some dentists need to refer their patients to separate specialists to have implants placed. Others have the training and experience necessary to perform the entire procedure in-house. Either way, you can rest assured that the oral health professional responsible for your dental implant surgery is an expert in the procedure, which will help ensure that you get the best long-term results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Easy Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking care of dental implants is very easy. In fact, it\u2019s not much different from caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing, avoiding bad habits like nail-biting, and biannual dental checkups and cleanings can all go a long way toward helping you avoid problems with your new smile. And the better care your implants receive, the longer you can expect them to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the above factors, dental implants can serve as a permanent solution for missing teeth. Are you thinking about using implants to repair your smile? Get in touch with your dentist today to schedule a consultation and learn more about the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Zachary Brice received his dental education at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio Dental School, and he continues to take advanced courses every year to further enhance his skills.
