4 factors impacting dental implant success<\/span><\/h3>\n

Dental implants offer a whole-tooth replacement, meaning they give you back your missing tooth as well as its root. That\u2019s a key advantage that just isn\u2019t offered by other options in tooth replacement. And once they\u2019re in, dental implants are pretty hardy devices — but they can be affected by the following factors.<\/span><\/p>\n

#1: Gum disease<\/span><\/h4>\n

Patients who develop gum disease after their dental implantation may run into trouble, says Dr. Olberding. The condition causes the gum to deteriorate, which could leave your implant exposed — and bone loss could strip away its sturdy base. <\/span><\/p>\n

Prevent gum disease with excellent oral hygiene habits, like brushing for two minutes, twice a day, flossing daily and visiting the dentist as recommended. <\/span><\/p>\n

#2: Tobacco use<\/span><\/h4>\n

We\u2019ve already covered gum disease, but tobacco use is so easy to prevent and has such a negative impact on oral health that we thought we\u2019d mention it again. Tobacco use of any kind is a major risk factor of gum disease — so kick the habit for your oral (and overall) health in 2016. If you\u2019re ready to quit but unsure of how, talk to the team at Olberding Dental — we\u2019re happy to help.<\/span><\/p>\n

#3: Medical conditions<\/span><\/h4>\n

When diabetes, cancer, HIV or other serious conditions affect the health and the immune system, dental implants can suffer as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n

#4: Location of the implant<\/span><\/h4>\n

The location of your dental implant can also affect its success rate. Dental implants in the back of the mouth, for example, receive far more impact from chewing — and can wear down faster as a result. It\u2019s not likely, but it could happen.<\/span><\/p>\n
