\"ModelThanks to new innovations in dentistry, there are more options than ever to treat tooth loss<\/a>; however, over 500,000 people annually are choosing dental implants, and for good reason. As the only treatment to recreate both the root and crown, a dental implant is a nearly perfect replica of a real tooth. Not to mention, they have over a 95% success rate and are proven to last for decades with the proper care. Most patients who have good oral and general health can benefit from the procedure, but 3 common issues can prevent you from getting dental implants. Don\u2019t worry, your dentist can fix the problems, so you can enjoy a complete smile again.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Bone Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone to serve as a new root. Your bone will fuse to it through a process called osseointegration, allowing it to stabilize your restoration. Unfortunately, bone loss and missing teeth often go hand in hand. 25% of your jaw\u2019s density can diminish within the first year of losing a tooth, which can cause your dental implants to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bone Grafting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist will review a CT scan of your jaw during your consultation to ensure there is enough bone to support dental implants. If not, they\u2019ll recommend bone grafting before your placement surgery to strengthen your jaw. Although it adds another step to your treatment, sufficient bone is vital to the success of the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Infection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss, despite being preventable. If you\u2019ve lost teeth from it, you will not be a candidate for dental implants if the infection is still present. Gum disease destroys the supporting structures of your teeth, which will ultimately affect your dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Periodontal Therapy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist will carefully examine your gums to look for any signs of an infection. If there\u2019s any redness, swelling, bleeding, or other symptoms of gum disease, you\u2019ll need periodontal therapy. Once your gum health has been restored, you can move forward with dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Poor Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental implants are the most reliable option to replace missing teeth. Although dental implant failure is rare, it\u2019s often caused by an infection called peri-implantitis, which is like gum disease. It can be avoided through a commitment to oral hygiene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oral Hygiene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you don\u2019t have the best home dental habits or maintain regular cleanings and checkups, your dentist may want to see improved oral hygiene practices before agreeing to your procedure. With a few simple changes to your brushing and flossing habits, you\u2019ll be on track to achieving a beautiful smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let minor complications stand in your way of getting dental implants. Your dentist has the personalized solutions you need to revamp your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
