As the most reliable solution to treat tooth loss, you&#8217;ll never have to budget for replacements again. Here&#8217;s how long you can expect your investment to last.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Factors Affecting the Lifespan of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental implant has over a 95% success rate and is proven to last for 30 years or more with the right aftercare, like brushing and flossing. However, many factors affect the life expectancy, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Materials<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Discounted materials can be of lower quality and may not be as durable. It&#8217;s better to focus on quality instead of price when choosing materials for your dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Location<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Back teeth undergo more wear and tear naturally. Dental implants used for molars may have a slightly shorter lifespan than those used for front teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bone Health<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall success of the procedure relies on your jaw fusing to the implant posts through a process called osseointegration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Oral Hygiene<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The biggest threat to the long-term success of dental implants is a preventable infection called peri-implantitis. You can keep the infection at bay by brushing, flossing, and using a daily mouthwash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lifestyle Habits<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although dental implants can&#8217;t get cavities, a diet limited in sugar will keep your mouth and body healthy. Smoking and drinking a lot of alcohol can increase your risk of failure, so it&#8217;s best to kick the habits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Regular Dental Care<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides caring for your smile at home, visit your dentist every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup. If you develop any concerning symptoms in between your regular appointments, like red or swollen gums, contact your dentist right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Oral Habits<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t use your teeth as tools to loosen bottle lids or in place of scissors. Keep inedible objects out of your mouth, including your fingernails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right care, you&#8217;ll have peace of mind knowing your new smile can last for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dental Implants Can Last for a Lifetime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are the most cost-effective method to treat missing teeth because they don\u2019t need to be replaced. Not to mention, it is the only solution to stop bone loss caused by missing teeth. A dental implant recreates both the root and the crown, preserving your jawbone to avoid many issues caused by tooth loss. As a result, you&#8217;re less likely to need costly treatments later to save even more money down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits of dental implants are priceless. You&#8217;ll enjoy the next best thing to your natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Wael M.
