What factors influence dental implant placement?
Dental implants are a technique that has evolved a lot over the years. In the last decade it has matured in the world of dentistry and, today, it achieves results that are close to excellence.One of the factors that have an important influence on the success of implant placement is to go to a good center. The good results and popularity of this technique have led to a proliferation of clinics and professionals of dubious reputation in the world of implant dentistry.Something that can give us a clue about this type of places are the offers and prices of dental implants well below the market. However, it is not easy to identify them. Therefore, it is more than advisable to go to a reliable center, with results that guarantee the good work of its professionals, such as IMOI clinics.At IMOI we have years of experience in implant dentistry and the guarantee of good results for all our clients.In addition to choosing a good dental clinic to place an implant, there are other factors that can help the implant to integrate correctly.Healthy habits before implant placement
The intervention to place implants is a simple procedure. It is performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia, and the person can go home on their own as soon as the surgery is completed.After implant placement, the tissue must heal properly for good integration to occur. It is up to us to adopt good habits to make this happen, both before and after the intervention.- No smoking. Tobacco, besides being a very harmful habit for health, delays the healing process. In addition, the harmful substances it contains can promote inflammation of the gums and increase the risk of infection. Tobacco is one of the main agents that trigger implant rejection.
- Do not drink alcohol. Alcohol is a vasodilator, i.e. it dilates blood vessels. This can result in slower healing and abnormal bleeding that can lead to loss of the implant.
- Information is power. Before getting a dental implant, learn about all your options. There are different methods and materials, see which one suits you best.
- Extreme hygiene. Good dental hygiene is something to keep in mind throughout life. However, when it comes to dental implants, the absence of pathogenic bacteria in the mouth is much more important. After the intervention, until the incision heals around the implant, the area is very exposed to the action of microorganisms. Therefore, the more hygienic we keep the area, the less risk of infection we run.
