Rarity for Dental Implant Failure
Here’s the great news: dental implants have a 98 percent success rate!!
Here’s the not-so-great news: in rare cases, implants can fail, but why?
Dr. Mike will review your health history, lifestyle habits current oral health. If Dr. Mike has determined you are a good implant candidate, you can rest assured your implant will be successful, because the vast majority of dental implants are successful—and last a lifetime.
As you’ll see, if you have good overall physical and oral health, your primary focus should be on your post-procedure oral hygiene.
Here are the reasons why a dental implant may fail:
Other options include placing Zygomatic or pterygoid implants because these implants are supported by other bones in the skull rather than the jawbone.
If you’ve already been given the green light for dental implants, you can breathe easy. Just remember to brush, floss and rinse your mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash at least twice daily. With good oral health and Dr. Mike’s approval, you’re well on your way to a lifetime of beautiful, confident smiles.
