In fact, this tooth replacement\nsolution grew by over 6% between 2019 and 2020 alone! Considering its unmatched\nability to preserve your jawbone, 20+ year lifespan, and natural-looking appearance,\nit is not hard to see why. However, to maintain its impressive 95% success\nrate, dentists take extensive measures to qualify patients beforehand. Read on\nfor five traits of a good dental implant candidate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1. An\nAdequate Amount of Bone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide patients with the durability they are known\nfor, dental implants are surgically placed directly into the jawbone. However,\nif a potential patient does not have a sufficient amount of bone, moving\nforward with the procedure could result in implant failure. Therefore, your\ndentist may recommend undergoing a bone graft beforehand or opting for a\ndifferent restorative procedure, like dentures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2. Healthy\nGums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Daily, you probably rarely think of how important your\ngums are. Nevertheless, they play an instrumental role in keeping your teeth in\nline, acting as a shock absorber, and working as an anchoring system. However,\nif an infection has compromised its functionality, then the gums can pull away\nfrom the implant and produce bacteria that may attack the bone in the jaw. With\nthis in mind, patients with gum disease may need to undergo treatment before\nmoving forward with dental implants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3. Commitment\nto Good Oral Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to other restorative solutions, dental\nimplants are relatively low-maintenance. After all, they bypass pesky food\nrestrictions and special cleaning solutions that can interrupt your daily\nroutine. With that being said, it is important that patients commit to a solid\noral hygiene routine to prolong their lifespan and keep them in tip-top shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4. Are Free\nfrom Chronic Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, patients with a chronic disease have a\nhigher risk of implant failure. For example, patients with diabetes are prone\nto cavities and gum disease, and the condition can also interfere with the\nfusion of the implant and the jawbone. Plus, other chronic conditions can leave\npatients vulnerable to complications during surgery. Therefore, your dentist\nmay recommend opting for a minimally invasive alternative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5. Don\u2019t\nSmoke or Drink Alcohol Excessively<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor oral habits, like using tobacco products and\ndrinking excessively, can lead to dental issues like bone loss, dry mouth, and the\ninability of the blood to clot. Also, the slow healing process makes dental\nimplants susceptible to failure. With this in mind, your dentist will help you\nput a plan in place to quit these patterns so you can safely restore your\nsmile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are missing one, a few, or an entire arch of teeth and meet\nthe above requirements, then it is time to talk to your dentist about restoring\nyour smile with dental implants. After your initial consultation, you\u2019ll be one\nstep closer to a full smile, strong bite, and restored speech!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the\nAuthor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to completing his doctorate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestrichardsondentist.com\/meet-the-dentist.html\">Dr. Hamid\nMirsepasi<\/a> has obtained his Graduate Prosthodontic Specialty\nCertificate and earned a Master of Science in Dentistry from Rutgers University\nDental School!
