Luckily, dental implants are a great way to regain most of your bite power and fill out your smile. Though they are the preferred tooth replacement option by many dentists, dental implants aren\u2019t for everyone. Read on to learn about the five qualities of a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthysmilesbartoncitydentist.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implant<\/a> candidate in Barton City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#1: Excellent Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Great oral hygiene is a key qualifier for the dental implant procedure. Like natural teeth, implants need to be brushed twice and flossed once each day. You should also consider using mouthwash to get rid of harmful oral bacteria in places that are difficult to reach by brushing or flossing. Having healthy teeth prior to getting dental implants will prove to your dentist that you\u2019ll care for your replacement teeth properly. This is also essential to the long-term success of your dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#2: Healthy Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the dental implant procedure, they are inserted through the gums and into the jawbone. Because of this, it\u2019s crucial that patients have healthy gums before moving forward. Plaque build ups along the gumline can lead to gum disease, which will create pockets in the gums. Harmful bacteria will accumulate in these holes, and without treatment, they will attack the jawbone and ultimately cause implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#3: Good Lifestyle Choices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you smoke cigarettes or drink heavily, these things will need to be avoided in order for you to get dental implants. Smokers are two times as likely to develop gum disease as nonsmokers. Smoking before dental implant surgery can also play a role in bone loss, which makes it harder to place them in the jawbone. Since smoking slows down the healing process, smokers also have a considerably higher risk of gum disease, infection, and failed osseointegration, all of which may lead to implant failure. Additionally, excessive drinking can lead to dry mouth, which inhibits blood clotting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#4: A Healthy Jawbone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a process called osseointegration, dental implants fuse with the jawbone to form a permanent bond. That\u2019s why having a healthy jawbone is vital to being a good dental implant candidate. Missing teeth can lead to bone loss due to lack of stimulation, so a bone graft may be necessary to adequately support implants if deterioration has already begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">#5: Great Overall Health<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes can put patients at an increased risk for complications during and after dental implant surgery. Heart disease impedes the effectiveness of anesthesia, and diabetes makes you more prone to infections and less effective at fighting them. Diabetes can also inhibit osseointegration. If you have any chronic conditions, make sure to inform your dentist so they can proceed accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though the above list can help you get an idea of whether dental implants are right for you, the only way to know for sure is to speak with your dentist. Soon, you\u2019ll be on your way to a fuller, healthier smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Steven Rodriguez, Dr. Jeffrey Sevener, Dr. Hana Gadalla, and their team at Healthy Smiles Dental Care of Barton City aim to give patients the treatment they need in a safe, comfortable environment.
