Dental Implants are nothing, but replacements of your original teeth. They are made out of titanium and are fixed to your jawbones beneath your gums, like roots of natural teeth. Our team can then replace the teeth that are required in that particular area. Dental implants made out of titanium are biocompatible.

With proper oral health and dental care, dental implants can last up to 10 years or more. With periodic adjustments at our clinic, they can even last for a lifetime. After the implants are fixed, it takes some time for them to heal. Then, the implants will fuse with our natural jaws and tissues; this will grow further to form a stronger and a lasting foundation for your new replaced teeth. The success rate of dental implants on various people is 98%, but it depends on how well you maintain them.
Maintenance of such replaced teeth is a significant step to make sure they last longer and help you maintain your healthy happy smile.
- You need to make sure that you keep your replacement teeth, i.e., the dental implants as clean as possible. For this daily oral care, dental hygiene and regular visits to our clinic are mandatory. Otherwise, the bacteria or plaque that gets collected on your teeth may lead to infections and development of tartar. This can further lead to gingivitis and other gum diseases, which can be severe. Thus, keeping them clean and infection free is a significant step to the longevity of your dental implants.
- Making sure that your implants are clean as well as polished is significant. Instruments like toothbrush or floss or other dental equipment used by us as well must be implant-safe. If the surface of your implants is scratched or withered away, it can attract and give a home to various bacteria. Thus, instruments made out of plastic, the resin must be used to maintain your implants, and not those made out of metal. Natural teeth can bear with the metal instruments, but not your implants. They need softer surfaces to maintain them.
- Visiting your dental service provider makes sure to increase the lifetime of your implants, apart from you keeping them clean.Dental implants might only have a 98% success rate, but it can be increased with your efforts and make sure you visit us regularly.
