They are unlike any other treatment because they replicate both the root and the crown. Not to mention, they have over a 95% success rate and are proven to last for decades. Here are 6 secrets behind their track record of success.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. A Qualified Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the right dentist is the first step to ensuring your investment succeeds. Although many dentists offer dental implants, not all have the experience or qualifications to perform the entire procedure in-house, which means you can be referred to another location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Advanced Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From start to finish, advanced technology is used for the diagnosis process, treatment planning, and execution of your placement surgery. Your restorations will be fabricated with the utmost precision using state-of-the-art equipment. This provides unmatched accuracy for minimal risk of complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Titanium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Titanium revolutionized dental implants, making it the standard material for the posts. Titanium is biocompatible and integrates well with bone. It is lightweight and durable while posing little risk of allergic reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Good Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest threats to dental implant success is a preventable infection called peri-implantitis. It&#8217;s caused by bacteria in plaque and tartar buildup. Good brushing and flossing habits at home will keep the infection at bay. Besides brushing your teeth twice daily and flossing every night, add an antimicrobial mouthwash to your routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Healthy Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smoking and alcohol can increase your risk of dental implant failure. It&#8217;s best to live a healthy lifestyle and break any bad oral habits that can damage your new smile, like chewing on ice or using your teeth as scissors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Regular Dental Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Routine cleanings and checkups are crucial for the lifespan of your dental implants. Visit your dentist every 6 months for preventative services. Not only will they keep your pearly whites clean and looking their best, but they can also detect the smallest issue quickly to treat it before it becomes a big problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although dental implants cost more initially than traditional treatments, they are worth every penny. They are the closest thing to your real teeth for results that look and feel natural. With an average lifespan of 30 years or more, dental implants are the most cost-effective option for tooth loss because you&#8217;ll never need replacements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t settle for less than the best when rebuilding your smile. Invest in the proven results of dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Jan Ortiz<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.epospecialists.com\/dr-jan-ortiz.html\">Dr. Ortiz<\/a> earned his dental degree from the University of Puerto Rico School of Dental Medicine and has regularly continued his education in various specialties, including general dentistry, orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, and dental implants.
