Dental Implants FAQ

1. What is the success rate of implant restorations? Since the application of dental implant technology in 1950, the success rate has been improving due to the advancement of medical and material science. At present, the success rate of dental implants can reach 95% or even higher with a five-year success rate as the clinical evaluation standard, and it is believed that it will be further improved in the future. 2. Am I suitable for implant restoration? Usually, a healthy person who can undergo conventional tooth extraction and oral surgery can consider implant restoration. Patients with specific chronic diseases, such as diabetes, uncontrolled heart disease and hypertension, blood disorders, osteoporosis, and patients who need radiotherapy after oral cancer surgery, are not suitable for implant restorations immediately. In addition, patients who cannot maintain good oral hygiene conditions such as smoking and raging alcohol are also not suitable. However, it is important to note that implant dentures are not age-restricted, so that many elderly patients who suffer from missing teeth can finally share the benefits of this successful technology. In conclusion, your dentist will have to make a thorough evaluation of your medical condition before he can develop a treatment plan that is suitable for you.
