The Requirements
Both your oral and overall health are important factors if you are considering dental implants. If your health is not the best, it can affect both the healing and success of the implants. As a precaution. be sure to let your dentist know if you have diabetes (especially if uncontrolled by medication) and/or a history of radiation to your face or jaws. If you have a history of periodontal disease, it can also affect whether you are a good dental implant candidate.
There are also some lifestyle factors that play an important part in your successful dental implant treatment. Your dental implants may be compromised if you smoke, use tobacco products, or drink alcohol in excessive amounts.
Thorough, regular brushing and flossing are also critical to maintain the health of your dental implants. If you haven’t started an excellent program of taking care of your smile at home, it’s time to start. Make sure that you are:
- Brushing at least twice a day
- Flossing at least once each day
- Visiting your dentist for a full dental exam at least once each year
- Visiting your dental hygienist for professional dental cleanings at least every six months
