If so, you are likely thinking about how to replace it. For many dentists and patients, dental implants are the answer. Implants are small screws that replace the roots of missing teeth. A restoration, such as a dental crown, is then attached to them to complete the look. As popular as this treatment is, how safe is it? keep reading to learn about the safety of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthysmilesbartoncitydentist.com\/contact.html\">dental implant<\/a> placement and what you can do to make your implants last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Dental Implants Safe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons why patients are so interested in dental implants is because they have a high success rate. At 95%, issues with the procedure are uncommon. Even so, there are still some problems that can develop, especially if you don\u2019t take good care of your restored smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cavities and gum disease are two oral health issues that can be caused by improper hygiene. Though they are both fairly easy to treat in their early stages, severe tooth decay or periodontal disease can lead to additional tooth loss. Your surrounding teeth will start shifting to fill in the gaps, making them become weaker over time. Eventually, they may break or fall out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also worth noting that there is a small chance of oral surgery leading to a few serious conditions. These include allergic reactions, bleeding disorders, or infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Ways to Care for Your Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, caring for your smile post-op is fairly easy. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Brush your teeth <\/strong>\u2013 Do this twice per day. Brush for two minutes each time. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and fluoride toothpaste.<\/li><li><strong>Floss your smile <\/strong>\u2013 Do this nightly to lessen your risk of decay and gum disease by removing food particles and plaque from between your teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Avoid bad oral habits <\/strong>\u2013 Don\u2019t use your teeth as tools, and eat too many sweets, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol excessively, or any other habits that can harm your smile.<\/li><li><strong>Eat a balanced diet <\/strong>\u2013 This includes lean meats, nuts, fish, low-fat or fat-free dairy products, and fresh, crisp fruits and veggies.<\/li><li><strong>Visit your dentist <\/strong>\u2013 See your dentist biannually for cleanings and dental checkups to ensure that your implants and the rest of your smile are in good condition.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Barton City area patients who are searching for a skilled dental team don\u2019t need to look any further than Drs.
