Dental implants replace natural teeth for patients who have lost their teeth for various reasons (such as gum disease and accidents). Generally, anyone in good health that allows for tooth extraction and surgery is a good candidate for dental implants. However, people with diabetes, cancer, or heart disease should be carefully evaluated before undergoing this treatment. Gum disease should also be properly treated (periodontal therapy is recommended) before any dental implant procedure can be performed.
Before dental treatment, it is important to inform your dental surgeon of your medical condition, as well as all medications you are taking. If you are considering dental implants, ensure you have healthy gums and sufficient bone to support the implant. You should also maintain good oral hygiene and visit your dentist regularly.
Success rates of dental implants vary, with the average success rate being 98%.
Advantages and Risks of Dental Implants
Dental implants have many advantages:
Permanent implants significantly improve the appearance of patients, allowing them to enjoy healthy, natural teeth for many years.
This improvement in appearance also significantly impacts a patient’s self-confidence.
Dental implants facilitate eating, as patients no longer experience difficulty or pain when chewing their favorite foods.
With proper care, high-quality implants can last a lifetime.
Individual implants allow easy access between teeth, improving oral health.
Dental Implant Risks
Dental patients who have recently received dental implants should care for them just as they would their natural teeth: brushing, flossing, and rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash are essential. In rare cases, patients may experience complications after implantation:
Infection around the implant area
Infection or damage to other surrounding teeth or blood vessels
Pain, numbness, or tingling in the natural teeth, gums, lips, or chin due to nerve damage.
