Implant Performance
Dental implants operate like the natural teeth and their parts. A single-tooth implant is also very similar to a
natural tooth in appearance. There is only a slight difference, which comes in the angling and coloring.
A typical dental implant will last over 25 years. It depends on how well you care for your teeth. Here are
some of the things to consider for post-surgery dental hygiene:
 Smoking: All types of smoke are not suitable for your general mouth hygiene and your dental implants.
Whether its cigarettes, cannabis, or vapes, smoking causes a lot of mouth complication. It is best to avoid
smoking if you want your implants to last.
 Alcohol: Alcohol restricts blood flow, which usually leads to slow healing of the jaw/ gums. It is why you
even ought to go for non-alcoholic mouthwashes. There is also evidence showing that alcohol increases
infection chances, so do not consume it sooner than 72 hours after the operation.
