They are the most reliable method of treating tooth loss with over a 95% success rate. They are proven to last for decades with the right home care and visiting a dentist in Hamden regularly, but what makes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dpmgeneraldentistry.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> successful? Here are 6 secrets behind their outstanding reputation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Replicate the Entire Tooth Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges, only replicate the portions of lost teeth visible above the gum line. A dental implant recreates both the root and crown. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to mimic a root, which will support a custom-made restoration that&#8217;s attached using an abutment. This creates the next best thing to a natural tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Advanced Dental Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From start to finish, advanced technology is used to promote the success of the procedure, like a CT scan for treatment planning. The highly detailed images work with computer-guided implant placement to take the guesswork out of the process. Implant posts are placed with pinpoint accuracy for optimal results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Osseointegration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implant success relies on the jawbone fusing to the post through a process called osseointegration. With the post serving as a new root, it stimulates bone growth, allowing the jaw to fuse to it to potentially remain in place for a lifetime. Titanium revolutionized dental implants because it integrates well with bone and reduces the risk of rejection from metal allergies. It&#8217;s also durable enough to withstand the pressure of chewing and can last for 30 years or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. A Good Oral Hygiene&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implant failure is rare, but it often results from peri-implantitis, which is an infection like gum disease. A good oral hygiene routine at home can keep infection at bay by removing plaque and tartar that harbor bacteria. Brushing, flossing, and using a daily mouthwash will promote a clean, healthy smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Healthy Lifestyle Habits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Diet and lifestyle factors also affect the lifespan of dental implants. Breaking bad habits, like smoking or drinking a lot of alcohol, is vital to promoting the long-term life expectancy of dental implants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Routine Dental Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Routine dental care removes buildup that can cause infections. A dentist can also detect anything concerning quickly, like gum inflammation. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent dental implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invest in the Best Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;ve lost one tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch, don&#8217;t settle for anything less than the best. Your dentist will create the personalized plan you need to rebuild your smile using the most successful solution available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Brett M.
