New teeth, new smile

Are there any dangers involved in having dental implants? Implants ought to be successful if properly planned and executed and are an effective and aesthetic method of replacing missing teeth, without involving or damaging the adjacent teeth in order to support a bridge or denture. However some factors may affect how successful implants are. Smokers have a higher risk of implants not working as they may be affecting the chance for the implants to fuse with bone. This is the most common threat to successful implants, namely that they will not correctly fuse and thus loosen, causing problems. With due care and attention the implants should last a lifetime with the attached crowns or caps being replaced every ten years or so in the normal way
