1. Early Intervention
Once your tooth has been removed, your body will begin to shrink the bone from that area. Healthy bone support is crucial for the long-term health of dental implants. We can often work with diminished bone, but it’s better if we don’t have to.
2. Health
Once your implants have been placed, your body will begin building bone around them. Good overall and oral health will help the implant to be successful. You need to practice good oral hygiene to keep gum disease under control since it can attack your dental implants the same as it attacks your teeth and will erode the bone around your implants.
3. Technology
Dental implants benefit from precise placement. Ask your dentist about the technology they use and how it will improve your odds of success.
4. Expertise and Experience
The success of a dental implant is related to the skill level of your implant dentist. Not all dentists place dental implants themselves. There’s nothing wrong with referring the surgical part to a specialist, but make sure you talk to the dentist who will actually be placing the implants.
5. Commitment
Dental implants are a lifetime commitment, and you have to be prepared to take care of them. Keep your follow up visits with your dentist during the implant process, as well as continue regular check-ups for the rest of your life. Finally, you have to brush and floss normally. Brush at least twice a day and floss every day to protect your implants.
