As advances in dental implant surgery have improved so has the success rates. Dental implants have been around for more than 30 years now and the success rates reflect this - up to 98%.
Some of the factors that affect the succes rate are Excessive Smoking and Drinking - this can in many case have a large influence on the success rate. It is estimated that excessive smoking and drinking can decrease the success rate by as much as 20%. Oral Health - the presence of peridontal gum desease means that there is an increased amount of bacteria living around the teeth which can often affect the dental implant success rate. Gum desease should be treated as much as possible before having implants placed. Dental Hygene - it is essential that good oral hygene is carried out after implants are placed. Often, especially where implants are used to replace the rear teeth it will become necessary to use a specail flossing brush to clean around the just exposed implant under the crowns. Failing to follow good dental hygene severely affects dental implant success rates and allows the same process that effects normal teeth to take hold.
If you are worried about your implants then make sure that the implants you select carry at least a 10 year guarantee though if failure to follow good dental hygene can be proved the guarantee will be null and void.

Dental Implant Information
During the last 30 years the use of dental implants has
changed dentistry beyond recognition. Implants are no longer considered experimental
and it is equally rare to come across situations where they cannot be used
at all.
Following is a an extract of frequently asked questions about dental implants and associated subjects such as bone grafting which
is meant to serve as an explanation of what can be quite a complex subject.
Patients who have a habit of clenching or grinding
(bruxing) their teeth may be at risk of overloading their implants. For
most people bruxism occurs during sleep, which is why they are generally
not aware of it. Heavily worn or flattened teeth, chipped enamel edges
and/or regularly breaking pieces of heavily filled teeth are the most
common clinical signs of bruxism. The effects of bruxism need to be considered
during treatment planning and can be compensated for by placing additional
implants, selecting appropriate restorative materials and providing a
night time bite guard to protect the new teeth.
What
must be avoided during implant placement?
Upper Jaw - In the upper jaw, provided
the implants stay within the bone that once supported your own teeth
there are really no important risk areas. If you have missing upper back
teeth then the shape and location of the maxillary sinus (the region
above the roots) can be shown to you. The maxillary sinuses can be seen
on most x-rays and are therefore readily avoided.
Lower Jaw - In the lower jaw the most important anatomical
structure to be avoided is the 'inferior dental nerve'. This nerve runs
from the area behind the wisdom teeth, passes under the molars and emerges
onto the skin of the face in the region where your premolar teeth are
or used to be. This is why a normal dental anaesthetic produces a numb
lip even when the needle was placed right at the back of the mouth. If
this nerve is disturbed or damaged during the placement of dental implants
it can lead to temporary or even permanent numbness of the lip on the
affected side. This is a rare but important complication.
