If you use tobacco, talk to your dentist or doctor<br>about help with quitting. &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>General health<br>problems <\/strong>&ndash; Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or immune disorders can<br>also affect your ability to heal and may jeopardize an implant over the<br>long-term. &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gum<br>disease or poor oral hygiene <\/strong>&ndash; To care for your implant, it&rsquo;s crucial to<br>brush and floss consistently and see a dentist for regular checkups and<br>cleanings. This prevents inflammation of the tissue around an implant that can<br>lead to failure. &nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inadequate<br>bone<\/strong> &ndash; Just like natural teeth, implants rely on strong, healthy bone<br>around them for support. Unfortunately, bone loss begins to occur in the jaw after<br>tooth loss, and some patients (particularly those who lost their teeth a long<br>time ago), may not have enough bone left to support an implant. With that said,<br>a bone graft can often be done to strengthen the jaw and make implants a<br>success.&nbsp; <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clenching<br>and grinding <\/strong>&ndash; &nbsp;Chronic clenching and<br>grinding at night puts a lot of force on implants, potentially causing them to<br>become loose. In many cases, however, a custom-made nightguard can protect<br>implants from this risk. <\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental implants are an outstanding tooth replacement option.\nBy knowing about the risk factors for failure, seeing your dentist regularly,\nand caring for them at home, you can feel confident that you&rsquo;ll enjoy them for\nlife. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no need to go anywhere else when opting for dental implants.
