Who Is An Ideal Candidate For Dental Implants?

Healthy gums are also very important for a successful outcome, which adds to the ease of healing after a dental implant procedure.

What Can I Expect After Receiving My Implant?

Just as you would take care of your original teeth, dental implants are no different. They require the same dental care. Brushing and flossing are necessary for optimal implant results in order to maintain cleanliness and remove plaque. Follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor your implant, teeth and gums to make sure they are all healthy.

History of Dental Implant Procedures

Implants have been used for much longer than most people often realize. Their use in dentistry began in the 1950's. Today, most implants resemble a root shape with screw-like threads. Recently, the main focus has been on the surface coatings or finishes of the implant to help adhere to the bone. Over the years, the reliability of implants has grown. Most dental implant procedures have a 99% success rate, assuming they receive adequate care. Carefully following the guidelines, implants can restore a patient's smile with more comfort and reliability than in ways never before possible.
