It\u2019s true, and in fact, some studies estimate the rate to be even higher. Dentists and patients have high praise for this tooth replacement option, but how is it possible for them to be <em>that <\/em>successful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you look closer at how dental implants work, what you\u2019ll find is a uniquely effective design \u2013 and diligent dentists! Keep reading to learn what makes them the best restorative solution in modern dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bone Growth and Science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main idea behind dental implants is to take advantage of a recently discovered feat of human biology: osseointegration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early 1960\u2019s, Dr. Per-Ingvar Br\u00e5nemark found that bone matter will grow around titanium, essentially fusing with the material. He created a replacement tooth that attached to a titanium post, which would be fixed to a patient\u2019s jawbone. His design worked, and Dr. Per-Ingvar Br\u00e5nemark is credited with placing the first successful dental implant in 1965.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically, dental implants are biocompatible and have been perfected to provide long-term stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral Examinations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are impressively sturdy, but a case of gum disease, infection, or jawbone recession can leave them with little support to cling to. Conditions like these can cause them to become loose or fall out entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why dentists diligently examine their patients\u2019 oral health before proceeding with a dental implant placement. If they see signs of trouble, they help patients treat the issue first. Once potential causes of complications are taken care of, there\u2019s little that can stop a dental implant from replacing a smile gap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Convenient Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the way dental implants are rooted to the jawbone and fixed in place (much like a natural tooth), they\u2019re very simple to clean and maintain. All it takes is regular dental visits, and twice daily brushing and flossing at least once per day. This mitigates bacteria build up, significantly decreasing the risk of developing gum disease and infection. Proper care is a big reason why that 95% success rate stays constant even after ten years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For your dental implants to be reliable and long-lasting, it takes dedicated effort from both you and your dentist. Be sure to schedule a consultation with them, so you can work together to ensure you have the best possible odds of success. Once all the details of your treatment plan are worked out, follow their instructions, and enjoy your new replacement teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentondentalcenter.com\/meet-dr-balington.html\">Dr. Balington<\/a> earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine from the Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine.
