Having gaps in your smile is not something that most people\nfind cosmetically pleasing, and it can make it difficult to eat, speak, and\nsmile with confidence. When choosing a tooth replacement option, there are a\nlot of things that you should consider, including how long it will last. Continue\nreading to learn more about the longevity of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edfamilydental.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants in\nAstoria<\/a> and how you can increase their lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Do Dental Implants Last in Astoria?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you take care of your smile properly, your dental\nimplants could last upwards of 25 years. However, this depends on several\ndifferent factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Oral Hygiene<\/li><li>Implant Location<\/li><li>Skills of Your Dentist<\/li><li>General Lifestyle Choices<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of all your different tooth replacement options, dental\nimplants are the most long term because they are placed directly into the\njawbone and fuse to it in a process known as \u201cosseointegration.\u201d This allows\nfor a stable foundation so your replacement tooth can thrive for many years to\ncome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Make Your Implants Last Longer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to increase your dental implant lifespan in\nAstoria, you should take the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Don\u2019t Smoke:<\/strong> Smoking can discolor your\nnatural teeth and contribute to all sorts of oral health conditions. When you\nsmoke, you are limiting the blood supply to your gums, therefore putting\nyourself at risk for periodontal disease. This could cause you to experience a\ndental implant failure. It is especially important to refrain from smoking during\nthe healing process.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Maintain Good Dental Hygiene: <\/strong>Even though\nyour replacement tooth cannot experience decay, you shouldn\u2019t slack on your\noral hygiene. You should still be brushing twice and flossing once every single\nday. Continue to see your dentist every six months for regular cleanings and\ncheckups. This way, if there is an issue, it can be treated early on and pose\nless risk for your smile.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Control Bruxism:<\/strong> If you have bruxism, or\nteeth grinding, this is something that needs to be taken care of. Grinding your\nteeth when you have implants can loosen the cement that is holding them in\nplace, therefore disrupting the healing process. Talk to your dentist about\nthis issue so can come up with a solution together.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a long-term tooth replacement option,\ndental implants may be the solution that you are looking for. Ask your dentist\nif you would make a good candidate. You\u2019ll have your smile back in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edfamilydental.com\/meet-dr-shkurti.html\">Dr.\nEduart Shkurti<\/a> earned his DDS from the prestigious University of Southern\nCalifornia and is an active member of the American Dental Association, the New\nYork Dental Society, and the Astoria County Dental Society.
