\"smiling<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Over the years, your smile has endured many hardships. You\u2019ve ultimately lost teeth, but you have replaced them with dental implants<\/a>, the next best thing to real dentition. You\u2019ve come so far and been through so much; do you really want to experience failure now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, dental implants come with a 95 percent success rate, which means the odds are in your favor, but that does leave a 5 percent chance that they won\u2019t work out. How can you keep this negative outcome from happening? Do these five things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Be Open with Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Believe it or not, the success of your dental implants can begin before you even receive them. During your consultation with your dentist, you need to share your medical and dental history, as well as any current conditions and medications. Based on this information and a thorough examination, your dentist can determine whether preliminary procedures, such as bone graft or sinus life, can increase the odds of success for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practice Diligent Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your prosthetic teeth can\u2019t get cavities, but your gum tissue can still become infected, putting your replacements at risk of failure. Fortunately, the simple habits of brushing and flossing your teeth every day go a long way to preserving your restored smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit the Dentist Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Complications for dental implants typically don\u2019t happen overnight, but they can develop in a short amount of time, which is why regular checkups with the dentist are necessary. During these frequent visits, your dentist can spot early signs of infection and then steer your smile back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eat Nutritious Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that the types of foods you have can also impact bacterial growth in your mouth? Sugar, for instance, fuels the strain that can lead to infection and implant failure. On the other hand, plenty of nutritious foods, like leafy greens, peppers, and more, can help your body fight inflammation. Others, such carrots, pears, apples, broccoli, and cucumbers, either have high water content or cause your mouth to salivate, which can reduce the impact of bad oral bacteria. Simply put, a balanced diet can help keep your oral microbiome under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quit Smoking or Vaping<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smoking and vaping have long been shown to increase the risk of oral infection and can endanger your implants. Quitting may be a challenge, but keeping your replacement teeth\u2014not to mention gaining all the other health benefits\u2014will make the effort well worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, although dental implants are widely successful, you can\u2019t get complacent or take them for granted. Your smile has been through enough\u2014you can\u2019t fail now! If you do these things, however, you should be able to enjoy your dental implants for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
