Still, the truth is that only a select few can get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drennanfamilydentistry.com\/dental-implants.html\">these metal posts<\/a>. Implants only work well when the person who gets them has certain qualities; they\u2019ll otherwise fail early. As for which people are suited for treatment, your Fort Worth dental practice can share the details. Here are four major qualities of a good dental implant candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Commitment to Oral Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While dental implants aren\u2019t \u201creal\u201d teeth, good candidates for them need a commitment to oral care. The replacements just won\u2019t work if a patient lacks that trait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see, dental implants depend on regular oral hygiene. They only remain secure and stable when your nearby teeth and gums are strong and healthy. If you develop cavities or gum disease, there\u2019s a good chance your implants will loosen and fail. You\u2019ll need to brush twice daily and floss once daily to avoid that outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decently Healthy Gums<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to get dental implants, you\u2019ll need to have decently healthy gums first. These tissues must be strong for treatment to succeed in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The underlying reason boils down to how dental implants work. Since they fuse with your mouth, they rely on your gum tissues to stay in place like natural teeth do. That means infected or inflamed gums would put the metal posts at risk, as they could detach from the implants over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sufficiently Dense Jaw Tissue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from healthy gums, good dental implant candidates also need strong and dense jaws. The new teeth won&#8217;t stay in place without them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, dental implants must anchor to the jawbone. They rely on the jaw&#8217;s bone tissue to remain secure and stable over time. However, that anchoring won&#8217;t occur if the jawbone is weak and lacks enough density. The patient will instead find that their implants lack support and can\u2019t stay in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Little-to-No Drinking or Smoking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, a good dental implant candidate mustn\u2019t drink or smoke a lot. These habits would put your treatment results at high risk of failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that both alcohol and tobacco disrupt dental implant fusion. If you have a lot of alcoholic drinks, the blood clot that helps you heal from implant surgery won\u2019t develop. The alcohol could also cause bone loss, which makes your implants hard to place. Similarly, smoking increases your risk of gum disease \u2013 an issue that often slows recovery and causes implant failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can always learn more about the qualities of a good dental implant candidate. Just talk to your dental provider for the relevant details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drennanfamilydentistry.com\/\">Drennan Family Dentistry<\/a> is based in Fort Worth, TX.
