When you have missing teeth, even everyday tasks can feel difficult. You can’t just sit down and eat anything you want, and your friends, family, and coworkers may not be able to understand you when you talk. Not only that, but gaps in your smile can be embarrassing and keep you from socialising with others.
Dental implants are a stable, aesthetically pleasing tooth replacement option, but how do you know if you’re a good candidate?
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
When you visit us for a dental implant consultation, we’ll thoroughly examine your teeth and gums to determine whether implants are a viable option for your smile.
Here are the criteria for dental implant placement:
- You need to be in good general health without uncontrolled diabetes or other issues that can impact healing.
- You should have healthy gums and be free from periodontal disease.
- You must have sufficient jawbone density to support the implants. You may be able to have a bone graft before implant surgery.
- You need to practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily.
