If everything goes as it should, once implanted beneath the gum line, the implants will promote the growth of bone tissue and gradually fuse together with the jaw. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s how it should work &#8212; but research suggests that people who smoke or use tobacco may not have a healthy environment to encourage this process (known as \u201cosseointegration\u201d) to occur after the procedure is complete. What\u2019s more, if you develop an infection after the implant placement, using tobacco will greatly diminish your body\u2019s ability to heal itself. Some studies say that smokers are as much as 15% more likely to experience dental implant failure compared to people who do not use tobacco. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loose Dental Implant?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A failing dental implant will get loose before it falls out completely. If you feel like one of your dental implants is starting to wiggle around or feel uncomfortable, do not hesitate to get in touch with your implant dentist\u2019s office right away. In the meantime, resist the urge to wiggle the implant &#8212; this can result in more bone loss and may cause the implant to fall out completely. With proper intervention, it may be possible to salvage the dental implant. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventing Dental Implant Failure<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental implants are a wonderful investment in your oral health and lasting smile &#8212; but there is almost nothing more stressful or expensive than a failed dental implant. Smoker or not, there are a few things you can do to increase the chances that your dental implants will be successful. Some of these tips include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stop or do not start smoking and tobacco use<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean your teeth properly every day, flossing once daily and brushing twice a day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invest in an interdental cleaner or water flosser to reach around the dental implant(s)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintain a balanced, nutritious diet and an overall healthy diet <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit your dentist as often as recommended for routine checkups<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. It\u2019s a good idea to think twice before lighting up and follow these steps to enjoy your healthy, complete smile for decades to come! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet the Practice<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Adam Jones and Dr. Giuliana Diaz Jones offer excellence in implant dentistry from the comfort of the Vero Implant and Esthetic Dentistry office.
