Just How Successful Are Dental Implants In Richmond?
According to recent research dental implants in Richmond and indeed across the whole of the UK offer a success rate of around 98%. While that seems high it’s important to take into consideration that each treatment in unique and each patient is different. So what exactly does this mean to you? In essence there are certain factors that can and will shorten or indeed lengthen the longevity of your newly placed implants.
Commitment
The first factor to ensure that your dental implants are going to last is commitment. This means cultivating and maintaining a high standard of oral hygiene, sticking to any post surgical appointments, and closely following any post-surgical instructions your dentist has given you. By making a lifelong commitment to look after your dental implants it’s one way to ensure you and your new teeth have a happy future together.
Collaboration
As well as 100% commitment by you, the longevity of your dental implants relies on a collaboration between your oral surgeon, and your general dentist. Because dental implant problems rarely give pain and aren’t always noticeable by the untrained eye, regular dental check-ups are a vital part of ensuring implant success. Your dentist should have the experience to spot any problems early on and refer you back to your surgeon before they escalate.
Conditioning
The final factor to ensuring implant longevity is conditioning. By this we mean conditioning yourself to lead a healthier lifestyle. We’re not suggesting that anyone needs to start training for a marathon – not unless they want to of course – but simply by eating a balanced diet, controlling alcohol intake, and maintaining regular sleep patterns, it will lead to an all-round healthier you which in turn means all-round healthier teeth!
Ultimately if you can put these three factors into place then there’s no reason why your implants won’t last for forty years or more.
