Protecting Your Investment in Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for replacing missing teeth, but their success depends on proper care. At Sacramento Dentistry Group, we provide patients with expert advice on how to maintain their implants to help they last for many years.
With the right habits and preventive care, your implants can remain a long-lasting part of your smile.
Why Dental Implants Are a Long-Term Solution
Dental implants are designed to integrate with your jawbone, providing a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Unlike dentures, they don’t slip or shift, and unlike natural teeth, implants won’t decay. However, without proper care, the surrounding gum and bone can become compromised, putting the longevity of your implants at risk.
Dr. Castro & Dr. Karavan emphasize the importance of routine dental care and maintaining excellent oral hygiene to preserve the health of your implants.
Book AppointmentRegular Dental Checkups Are Crucial
Even with good home care, regular dental checkups at Sacramento Dentistry Group are essential for maintaining the health of your dental implants. During these visits, our team will monitor the surrounding gums and bone to help ensure your implants remain stable. Professional cleanings will also help remove plaque buildup that can lead to gum disease, which is a major threat to the longevity of implants.
Avoiding Habits That Can Damage Implants
Certain habits can shorten the lifespan of your dental implants. Smoking decreases blood flow to the gums, increasing the risk of infection. Teeth grinding can put excessive pressure on your implants, causing them to loosen over time. If you grind your teeth, Dr. Castro & Dr. Karavan may recommend a nightguard to protect your implants and natural teeth from damage.
Protect Your Implants with Professional Care
Dental implants are an excellent, long-term solution for missing teeth, but they require care and maintenance to support their long-term success.
