Dental implants are widely considered one of the most reliable options for tooth replacement. According to extensive clinical research, dental implants have an overall success rate of about 95% or higher when properly planned, placed, and maintained. This makes dental implants one of the most predictable long-term solutions for replacing missing teeth.

Success means more than just the implant staying in place. It also includes healthy surrounding bone and gums, proper function, and long-term comfort. When these factors are in place, dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime.

That said, success isn’t automatic. Several factors influence outcomes, including bone quality, oral hygiene, overall health, and lifestyle habits.

Tips to Improve the Chances of Implant Success

• Choose an experienced dental provider who carefully evaluates bone health and placement.
• Maintain excellent oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits.
• Avoid smoking, which significantly increases the risk of implant failure. 
• Manage chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, with your physician and dentist.
• Follow post-procedure instructions closely, especially during the healing phase.
• Commit to routine checkups, so your dentist can monitor the implant and surrounding tissue.

One of the primary differences between traditional dentures and All-on-4 is that traditional dentures are typically removable. In contrast, All-on-4® implant dentures rely on four carefully placed dental implants to keep them securely in place.  

Understanding All-on-4 Implants in Westfield

With an all-on-4 procedure, our dentists use four strategically placed implants to support a custom-designed upper or lower denture. They design your denture to "snap" into the implants, so it doesn't need to be removed for cleaning at night, and there's no movement or slippage when you talk or eat. 

Dental implants also provide additional health benefits for denture wearers. Dental implants keep your jawbone healthy and stimulated, so you avoid the natural deterioration that occurs with traditional denture wear. This also means better longevity for your denture. 

Today's dentures are thoughtfully designed. Our dentists use your facial structure and skin tone to build and shade your denture so it complements your smile. These are not the dentures that your parents or grandparents wore!
