One of the main selling points of dental implants<\/a> is their remarkable durability. When cared for well, they regularly last 20-30 years, or even a lifetime. They also have an incredibly high-success rate, with over 95% of dental implants succeeding at 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there are problems that could cause your dental implants to fail. Getting the most out of your tooth replacement means being taking good care of your implants\u2014here are a few ways you can do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What Causes Dental Implant Failure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make your dental implant last, you need to understand what could go wrong. When implants fail, it\u2019s usually for one of two reasons: peri-implantitis, or incomplete osseointegration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osseointegration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are typically made from titanium, which has the unique capacity to fuse with bone tissue. This process is known as osseointegration, and it\u2019s essential to the success of your implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some circumstances, the process of osseointegration is delayed or interrupted. This can happen if you have a naturally impaired healing factor, or if you are indelicate with your implants soon after the surgery. Should this happen, it can severely compromise the integrity of your dental implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peri-implantitis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gum disease is a fairly common condition, but if left untreated it can become incredibly serious. This is especially true when it comes to dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When gum disease progresses, it can begin to seep under the gumline and attack the bone tissue holding the dental implant in place. This condition is known as peri-implantitis. If the disease is allowed to progress, it can severely compromise the foundation of your dental implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Prevent These Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If this information worries you, it shouldn\u2019t\u2014dental implants have a high success rate for a reason. Preventing these problems is simple so long as you\u2019re careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the healing process, be sure to follow your dentist\u2019s aftercare instructions closely. This will allow osseointegration to proceed smoothly. You should also tell your dentist if you have an impaired healing factor, as this will need to be factored into your treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prevent infection, you only need to keep up with your dental hygiene. So long as your brush thoroughly, floss often, and see your dentist for regular cleanings you can expect your dental implant to stick around for decades to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
