To qualify for dental implants, you should have sufficient bone structure to support the implant. However, if you have suffered significant bone loss and do not have enough tissue, Dr. Shruti Chahal may recommend bone grafting treatment.
After the initial surgery, the dental implant requires 3 to 6 months to fully integrate with the jaw bone. During this time, Dr. Chahal can provide a temporary dental crown while the implant heals. The entire dental implant process can take anywhere from four to nine months. If you need extra treatments like a bone graft or periodontal therapy before receiving your implants, this process could take longer.
Because dental implants depend on your surrounding tooth structures for support, you must brush and floss regularly and visit Dr. Shruti Chahal at least twice a year for dental cleanings. Dental implants do not require special care, but diligent oral hygiene is needed to keep your dental implant healthy for a long-lasting restoration.
If you take care of your implant or implants properly, they can last a lifetime. If you ever have any issues with your dental implant, please call us for an examination.
The success rate for implants is over 95%. It is important to keep in mind that factors like smoking and using tobacco greatly increase your chance of implant failure. If you choose dental implants to replace your missing teeth, you have to be committed to good oral hygiene habits for the rest of your life. Infections and diseases can develop causing your implants to fail.
