This depends heavily on how well you care for your smile. If you don\u2019t practice excellent oral hygiene, your implant lifespan will likely be shorter. Additionally, if you don\u2019t eat a balanced diet, this may lead to oral health problems that can jeopardize your implants as well as your remaining teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 Ways to Extend the Lifespan of Dental Implants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to take good care of your dental implants so that they last as long as possible. You can do this by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Practicing good oral hygiene <\/strong>\u2013 Brush your teeth twice per day. Do so for two minutes each time. Use toothpaste that contains fluoride to prevent enamel damage. You should also use a toothbrush with soft bristles. Additionally, floss nightly to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid bad oral health habits \u2013<\/strong> This includes smoking, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol, and using your teeth to open bottles or packages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eat a mouth-healthy diet <\/strong>\u2013 This includes fish, dairy products, lean meat, nuts, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Additionally, avoid sweet, starchy, acidic, or sticky foods and drinks when possible.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visit your dentist \u2013<\/strong> See your dentist twice yearly for checkups and cleanings. This will allow them to check on your implants and make sure that there aren\u2019t any issues developing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolfe Dental is led by Dr. Ben Wolfe, Dr. Brian Bardeloza, and Dr. Curtis Wahlen.
