Are Dental Implants Always Successful and Safe
Are dental implants always successful and safe? Unfortunately, no, dental implants are not always successful and safe. There are many different factors that contribute to whether your dental implants will heal properly and be termed “successful.” One of these factors is the amount of bone you have left in your jaw. Many long term denture wearers have lost much of the bone mass in their jaws because dentures do not put the same amount of pressure on the jaw as regular teeth do and pressure is required to continued bone growth. The less bone there is, the less chance there is that the implants will be successful. Nevertheless, your implant surgeon should screen your jaw before the surgery and let you know of your risk factors when it comes to this issue.
Moreover, sometimes dental implants simply fail. Sometimes the bone does not heal properly around them and they get infected. However, if you have more than one implant placed, the likelihood of them all failing is very very rare.
However, barring these kinds of problems that you can do nothing about, your dental implants has a very good chance of being successful if you follow all of your implant surgeon’s guidelines. Make sure that you are properly cleansing your mouth with whichever products you were told to – do not skimp on care for your implants or you will lose them.
So, are dental implants always successful and safe? Yes, for the most part.
