The good news is that there are various tooth replacement options out there, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crovattoandedwards.com\/dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a>, that can transform the appearance and function of your teeth. One factor that you need to consider when choosing a tooth replacement method is longevity. Read on to learn how long you can expect your dental implants to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Do Dental Implants Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants are considered to be a permanent tooth replacement option. They can last more than three decades and even the rest of your life with proper maintenance. There are a few different factors that contribute to the life of your dental implants. Here are a few of the most prominent ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Overall health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gum health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Location of the implant<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proper maintenance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Make Your Dental Implants Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many things that can contribute to the life of your dental implants. Here are a few steps that you should be taking to keep your implants healthy for as long as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dental Hygiene:<\/strong> The crown that is attached to your dental implant isn\u2019t susceptible to tooth decay like your natural teeth are, but this doesn\u2019t mean that you can neglect your oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing every day is necessary to keep your gums and surrounding teeth in good health. If you end up with gum disease, you are more likely to have a failed dental implant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proper Use:<\/strong> Your dental implants are made to help you chew your food, hold in saliva, and prevent bone loss. You shouldn\u2019t be using them to open bottles, rip through packaging, munch on eye, or bite your fingernails. You could end up damaging them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>See Your Dentist:<\/strong> You should see your dentist for regular cleanings and checkups to keep your smile healthy. This is especially important when you have dental implants. If you have any issues, your dentist will be more likely to catch them early on so they can be restored to health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental implants have various benefits, but you won\u2019t be experiencing them for long if you don\u2019t care for them. By using the tips above, you can keep your smile complete for many years into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Crovatto &amp; Edwards Family Dentistry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crovattoandedwards.com\/meet-dr-crovatto.html\">Dr. Steven Crovatto<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.crovattoandedwards.com\/meet-dr-edwards.html\">Dr. Megan Edwards<\/a> work together to treat patients in the Orange Park community.
