At Allen Park Dental Care, we are often asked about the success rate of dental implants. Our answer never fails to impress.
In case you are unfamiliar with dental implants, we’ll describe them:
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a permanent replacement tooth root. A titanium post is anchored into the jaw, where it eventually integrates with the jawbone. One implant provides a durable, sturdy base for a porcelain crown, while several can support a bridge or dental arch.
Evaluating Dental Implant Success Rates
Now let’s talk about success rates.
Studies of dental implants have found a five-year success rate of 98%.
There are numerous things you can do to help ensure a successful procedure.
- Follow post-placement surgery instructions.
- Practice proper oral hygiene—keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy.
- Don’t chew on hard foods or other items. If you grind your teeth, seek treatment.
- Have a biannual dental exam and cleaning.
If properly cared for, a dental implant can last the rest of your life. It’s no wonder that dental implants have been called one of the most important developments in dentistry.
