For a more reliable form of replacement, you can now receive dental\nimplants in Dublin. How long should you expect the new fixtures to last,\nthough? Continue reading to find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Dental Implant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental implant is unlike any other form of tooth\nreplacement. The primary reason is that it attaches beneath the gum line,\nwhereas the other methods rest above the gums. More specifically, a fixed\nbridge is bonded to the surrounding teeth with the use of dental cement, while\na set of dentures is held in place using dental adhesive and the natural suction\ninside the mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide a more reliable and longer-lasting restoration, a\ncylinder-shaped dental implant is surgically inserted into the underlying\njawbone. Over a period of six to nine months, the implant will fuse with the\nexisting bone through a process called osseointegration. This will also provide\ntime for your jaw and gums to heal from the initial surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, a titanium abutment is attached that will allow a final\nrestoration to be added. When it\u2019s all said and done, you\u2019ll have a natural-looking-and-feeling\nset of teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Can You Expect Dental Implants to Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the greatest perks of dental implant placement is the\nlongevity that it provides. With proper care, you can typically expect your new\nfixtures to last 30 years or more. Thus, when you decide to have the procedure\ndone, you\u2019re making a lifetime commitment to excellent oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fully reap the benefits, though, there are some steps\nthat you\u2019ll need to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Preserve Your New Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s what you can do to ensure your dental implants endure\nthe test of time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Maintain Your Oral Hygiene <\/strong>\u2013 As a general\nrule of thumb, you should be brushing and flossing your teeth at least two\ntimes a day to rid your mouth of harmful bacteria.<\/li><li><strong>Monitor Your Food Consumption <\/strong>\u2013 While dental\nimplants can restore up to 95% of your original chewing capacity, it\u2019s best to limit\nyour consumption of hard items like carrots and nuts.<\/li><li><strong>Receive Treatment for Teeth Grinding <\/strong>\u2013 If\nyou\u2019re prone to grinding your teeth, you should reach out to your dentist to be\nexamined and treated. Otherwise, you run the risk of causing your dental implants\nto dislodge.<\/li><li><strong>Maintain Regular Dental Visits <\/strong>\u2013 Many potential\nproblems can be addressed early before they become worse by maintaining regular\nvisits to your dentist. In the long run, it will also help to ensure more\nmileage from your dental implants. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have more questions about what you should expect from\nthe dental implant process, then reach out to your local dentist to schedule a\nvisit.
