DENTAL IMPLANT
Dental implants are popular because they look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They can also help preserve the jawbone and prevent the bone loss that typically occurs with missing teeth system that promises a beautiful and better smile At APEX

to get you chewing , smiling, laughing, and showing off a complete smile to the world again.
Reasons to Consider Dental Implant Today?
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, usually made of titanium, that is surgically placed into the jawbone. It serves as a strong foundation for a replacement tooth, known as a crown, which is custom-made to match your natural teeth
- Restores Function– They allow you to chew and speak naturally, just like real teeth.
- Prevents Bone Loss – When a tooth is lost, the jawbone can deteriorate over time. Implants help maintain bone density by stimulating the jawbone.
- Long-Lasting Solution – With proper care, implants can last for decades, making them a durable alternative to dentures or bridges.
- Improves Appearance – They look and feel like natural teeth, enhancing your smile and facial structure.
- Keeps Adjacent Teeth Stable – Missing teeth can cause neighboring teeth to shift, affecting your bite. Implants help maintain alignment

Taking care of your dental implant is essential for its longevity and your overall oral health. Here are some key tips to keep it in top shape
Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene – Brush twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and floss daily, paying extra attention to the areas around the implant.
Choose Implant-Friendly Products – Use non-abrasive toothpaste and implant-safe floss to prevent irritation. – Be Mindful of Your Diet – Avoid hard and crunchy foods that could put unnecessary pressure on the implant, especially during the healing phase
Monitor for Any Changes – Keep an eye out for gum inflammation, sensitivity, or loosening of the implant, and contact your dentist if you notice anything unusual.
Stay Hydrated – Drinking water regularly helps rinse away food particles and bacteria, reducing the risk of infection.
Wear a Nightguard (if needed) – If you grind your teeth at night, a nightguard can protect your implant from excessive pressure

Dental implant failure can happen for several reasons, though the success rate is generally high. Here are some common causes:
Early Failure (Shortly After Surgery)
- Infection (Peri-implantitis): Bacteria can infect the implant site, leading to inflammation and bone loss.
- Poor Osseointegration: The implant may not fuse properly with the jawbone, often due to insufficient bone density.
- Micro-movements: If the implant shifts before healing, it can prevent proper integration.
- Allergic Reaction: Some people may have sensitivity to titanium or other materials used in implants.
Late Failure (Months or Years Later)
- Gum Disease: Poor oral hygiene can lead to infections that weaken the surrounding bone.
- Smoking: Reduces blood flow to the gums, slowing healing and increasing failure risk.
- Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Excessive pressure on the implant can cause it to loosen or break.
- Medical Conditions: Autoimmune diseases, diabetes, or osteoporosis can slow healing and affect implant stability
