Lifestyle factors like diet, hygiene, and oral habits can help them work for more or less time. That said, you probably didn\u2019t know your dental implant\u2019s materials also affect its lifespan. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roselleparkdental.com\/dental-implants.html\">The post\u2019s parts<\/a> (and their makeup) can determine whether or not your treatment results fail. If you\u2019d like to learn more, just read over this primer from your Roselle Park dentists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overall, Dental Implants Can Last Decades<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To grasp how an implant\u2019s materials affect its longevity, you must first know the basics about dental implants\u2019 lifespans. You won\u2019t be able to judge things accurately otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, a dental implant lasts roughly 15 to 20 years. That lifespan already exceeds those of dentures or dental bridges (i.e., 5-7 years) by a large amount. Still, the posts can last even longer with proper care; a well-maintained one could work for 30 years or even more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Various factors will impact how long your own implant posts last. In particular, the most common of these are oral hygiene, diet, a dentist\u2019s skills, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How an Implant\u2019s Materials Affect Its Lifespan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While not often discussed, the truth is that an implant\u2019s materials also affect its lifespan. The quality of the posts\u2019 parts will shape how long the treatment works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The typical dental implant has three crucial components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Implant Fixture\/Post<\/strong> \u2013 A dental implant\u2019s post is usually titanium, but other materials can be used as needed. This fixture could also be made from longer-lasting zirconia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Implant Abutment<\/strong> \u2013 Like its post, an implant\u2019s abutment is often titanium. However, this piece can have wear-resistant zirconia instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prosthetic\/Crown<\/strong> \u2013 Since it must match the color, shape, and size of surrounding teeth, an implant\u2019s prosthetic can use porcelain or less sturdy acrylic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn which implant materials suit you, consult your dental provider about potential choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to Make Dental Implants Last<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever your implant\u2019s materials, you can still work to make your treatment results last longer. All you need to do is the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keep Your Smile Clean <\/strong>\u2013 To avoid gum disease that causes implant failure, brush your teeth twice daily and floss between them once daily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid Bad Oral Habits<\/strong> \u2013 Since smoking and biting hard objects can make dental implants fail, quit or give up these habits as soon as possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get Dental Checkups<\/strong> \u2013 When you attend dental checkups every six months, you let your dentist treat issues that may threaten your implant posts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A dental implant\u2019s materials affect its lifespan, but so do your choices. Don\u2019t forget that as you maintain your replacement tooth (or teeth)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.roselleparkdental.com\/\">Roselle Park Dental &amp; Implants<\/a> is based in Roselle Park, NJ.
