Following the popularity of our previous two articles on dental implants, we’re back with part three of our series, this time spotlighting expert advice from our very own Dr Ioannis Vallis in three short, helpful video clips.
Whether you’re just beginning to explore the idea of dental implants or have already had your initial consultation, this post is designed to help you understand who makes a good candidate for implants, what kind of success rates to expect, and how to care for them long-term.
All insights come directly from Dr Vallis, a Partner at our Private Dentist Oxford practice, who has placed hundreds of dental implants and is passionate about combining clinical excellence with the latest technology, like the X-Guide 3D navigation system, for optimal results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Not sure whether implants are right for you? In the first video clip, Dr Vallis breaks down the essential criteria for suitability:
“A good candidate for dental implants is someone with generally good oral and overall health, adequate bone density, and no untreated gum disease. However, each case is different, which is why we carry out a full clinical assessment before recommending treatment.”
At 30 Beaumont Street, your first consultation includes a detailed examination, digital scans, and where needed, 3D imaging to assess the underlying bone structure. Our goal is to give you a clear picture of what’s possible and whether implants are the best choice for your long-term oral health.
What Is the Success Rate of Dental Implants?
Dental implants are known for their reliability, and in the second video, Dr Vallis explains just how successful they are when placed and maintained correctly:
“The success rate of dental implants is typically around 95–98% when placed in healthy individuals. That success increases further with good oral hygiene and regular follow-up care.”
Because we are a private practice, we’re able to take the time to ensure every implant is meticulously planned using digital tools like the X-Guide surgical guidance system. This technology improves placement accuracy and reduces healing times, especially in more complex cases.
How Do I Care for Dental Implants?
In the third video clip, Dr Vallis shares his top tips on keeping your implants healthy for the long haul:
“Dental implants need to be looked after just like natural teeth. Daily brushing and flossing are key, along with regular check-ups and hygienist visits. With the right care, your implants can last for decades.”
We’ll also guide you through every stage of post-treatment care, from choosing the right tools for cleaning around your implants to helping you manage any risk factors, such as smoking or teeth grinding. And if you need extra peace of mind, we offer nightguards and maintenance plans tailored to implant patients.
