Factors which may affect your dental implant surgery

For successful dental implant surgery it is important that you are in relatively good health and do not have any underlying conditions which may put you at a higher risk for a poor outcome. The healing process of the implant is very important to the long-term success of replacing your missing tooth. Underlying conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or patients who are smokers are at a higher risk of implant failure or complications. Dental implant surgery has an average success rate of greater than 95% however one study which compared smokers with non-smokers showed that smokers had an almost 16% failure risk. Smoking also has a detrimental impact on your dental health in general as well as your overall well-being. If you are a heavy smoker then the risk of dental implant failure is high and we may have to consider alternative treatment options for you such as a bridge or a set of dentures. If you have healthy lifestyle choices, good health and strong gums and jawbone, then dental implants is an excellent treatment option for you so speak to us at High Dental Implants in Melbourne today to find out more.
