What is the Success Rate of Dental Implants?
Dental Implants are designed to be permanent however; there are few things in life that last a life time and dental implants are no exception. Should a problem arise, it normally does during the first six months to a year following surgery, during the period of bone healing. After this period, problems appear to be less frequent. Many factors contribute to long term success - If the treatment is properly planned, the surgery accomplished following accepted rules of practice, the implant is made and placed correctly.
There are factors, however beyond the control of both the patient and the dentist that can affect the life of an implant. The success rate of Fairfax Dental Implant Restoration is in excess of 98%. In order to maintain the success rate, patients must have excellent oral hygiene habits, be a non-smoker, maintain regular check-ups and cleanings with your Fairfax Cosmetic Dentist. Lifestyle changes, accidents, and illnesses can all have a negative affect. Visit Dr H.Charles Jelinek Jr., D.D.S. the implant dentist in Fairfax, Northern VA.
