This includes implants\u2019 success rate of over 95%! However, failure is still possible if you aren\u2019t careful. Here are some of the common causes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newparkmallfamilydental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a> failure and some steps you should take to keep your dental implants healthy for many years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Causes Dental Implant Failure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple reasons why dental implants can fail. Here are some of the most common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Peri-Implantitis:<\/strong> The most common reason behind dental implant failure is peri-implantitis. This is an infection of the gum tissue surrounds the implant. This can result of poor dental hygiene and untreated gum disease.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jawbone Loss:<\/strong> Bone loss occurs when you are missing teeth. This is because the root of the missing tooth isn\u2019t there to stimulate the bone with regular chewing. When a dental implant is placed in an area where there isn\u2019t enough bone tissue, it may not properly fuse to the jawbone. This is why bone grafting is often required before getting implants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trauma:<\/strong> If you\u2019ve experienced an injury or blow to the mouth, you could end up with a dislodged dental implant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Ways to Prevent Dental Implant Failure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, dental implant failure can be prevented. Here are some ways you can keep your implants strong and healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Excellent Oral Hygiene:<\/strong> Dental implants aren\u2019t susceptible to tooth decay, but you still need to keep up an excellent oral hygiene routine. Having healthy gum tissue and surrounding teeth are crucial to keeping your implants healthy. Make sure that you are brushing twice and flossing every day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seeing Your Dentist:<\/strong> By visiting your dentist every six months for cleaning and checkups, they can check and ensure that your dental implants are in excellent health and healing productively. If any problems arise, they can be addressed sooner rather than later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t Smoke:<\/strong> Smoking and other tobacco products interfere with the healing process after dental implant placement surgery. You should refrain from smoking for at least a few months following your procedure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get Plenty of Calcium:<\/strong> Calcium is needed to maintain strong bones and teeth. This mineral can be found in milk, yogurt, broccoli, oranges, and cheese!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid Bad Dental Habits:<\/strong> You shouldn\u2019t munch down on hard candies or chew on ice. Ask your dentist about getting a nightguard If you clench or grind your teeth at night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implant failure isn\u2019t likely, but it can happen in some circumstances. By using the tips listed above, you can reduce your risks and enjoy a complete smile for many years to come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Newpark Mall Family Dental Group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newparkmallfamilydental.com\/meet-dr-quach.html\">Dr. Nancy Quach<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newparkmallfamilydental.com\/meet-dr-rosato.html\">Dr. Adriana Rosato<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newparkmallfamilydental.com\/meet-dr-lei.html\">Dr. Kai Lei<\/a> work together to treat patients in the Newark community.
