Dr. Thomas J. Balshi discusses how key nutrients affect implant successLet’s face it, most Americans do not eat well. Even bodybuilders, athletes, and models who look as if they are eating right, may not be getting all the nutrition that they need. What we do find is that unbalanced diets and subclinical deficiencies are very common. Poor nutrition has proven to be a significant risk factor for increasing the likelihood of oral diseases. A lack of certain key nutrients can become a factor in making the mouth more susceptible to infection and disease.
Implantologists must be aware of nutritional factors and deficiencies that can adversely affect implant surgery and subsequent patient rehabilitation. There are many nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that may be useful and even necessary for the implant patient both before and after implant placement. Dental implants and implant-retained and/or supported prostheses are viable treatment options for all patients when nutritional factors are considered.
The osseointegration and overall dental implant success can be dependent on the health and well-being of patients. Nutrition is a critical area to address with patients, as a balanced diet and supplementing with vitamins, minerals, and key nutrients can enhance healing, osseointegration, and overall implant success after a dental implant procedure.
A balanced diet helps to promote bone health, which is important because dental implants require a healthy jawbone to fuse with and provide a stable base for the implant. A balanced diet that is rich in bone-building vitamins, minerals, and other key nutrients can help maintain good bone health and density, reducing the risk of implant failure and help increase the longevity of your implants. Clinicians should consider recommending supplementation to patients with poor diets or underlying health issues in order to provide nutritional insurance before and after implant placement. BONE-TITE™, osseointegration support supplement, provides patients with nutritional insurance before/after dental implant procedures. It contains key vitamins, minerals, and nutrients helpful for proper bone and soft tissue growth, repair, and overall health before, during, and after implant procedures.
